Anchomenus dorsalis (Pontoppidan) thought to be Attagenus fasciatus (Thunberg), but (Coleoptera, Carabidae) found in Aland in 1979 Halstead and Green (Notulae Entomol. 59:97-104) described it as a new species by the Hans Silfverberg name of A. woodroffei. A. fasciatus has not been Zoologiska museet, PB 17 (N. Jiirnviigsg. 13), recorded from the Nordic countries.
