Notes.
The subgenus
Bembidion Politophanes
Mueller-Morzfeld
, 1998 was restored by
Schmidt (2018)
, after
Toledano (2008)
downgraded
Politophanes
to species group of subgenus
Ocydromus
Clairville, 1806. The subgenus includes the species that show particular endophallic characters (main sclerite from slightly arcuate to clearly bent, S-shaped, even long and coiled in a ring in the central portion in some species).
Bembidion chloreum
, currently listed as member of subgenus
Bembidion Peryphus
, shows endophallic characters that clearly include it in the subgenus
Bembidion Politophanes
.
Bembidion sapporense
Jedlicka
, 1951, currently assigned to the subgenus
Bembidion Asioperyphus
Vysoky
, 1986, was described from a single male specimen: we examined the holotype (NMPC) and, based on the aedeagal characters (long main sclerite, coiled in a ring at middle) we assign it to the subgenus
Bembidion Politophanes
. The labels of the specimen (Fig.
4
) show that our colleague Seiji Morita (Tokyo), a specialist in Japanese
Carabidae
, particularly in the
Bembidiina
, identified the specimen as
Bembidion chloreum
Bates in 1991. Later he confirmed this identification and authorized us to state it formally here (Morita, pers. comm.): we are very grateful for that. Therefore we state the following synonymy:
Bembidion (Asioperyphus) sapporense
Jedlicka
, 1951 =
Bembidion (Politophanes) chloreum
Bates, 1873 syn. nov.
