Atheta annexa is newly recorded in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Ontario. It has been collected from organic debris, fungi near cave entrances, raccoon dung, and woodrat ( Neotoma spp.) nests ( Klimaszewski and Peck 1986). In the Maritime Provinces it has been found in decaying fungi, in a cave threshold, and on moldy corncobs.
