Bembidion hesperium Fall, 1910
Bembidium hesperium
Fall, 1910: 95 (as
hesperum
). Type locality: "Vancouver Island [British Columbia]" (original citation), herein restricted to Duncan (CNC). Holotype (♂) in MCZ [# 23862]. Note. The name
Bembidion hesperium
has been credited to Casey (1918: 9) by some authors on the basis that Casey proposed a replacement name for
Bembidium hesperum
Fall, 1910, supposedly a junior primary homonym of
Bembidion hesperus
Crotch, 1867. In fact, Casey (1918) emended
Fall's
name to
Bembidion hesperium
since the name
Bembidion hesperum
is an incorrect latinization for
Bembidion hesperium
(adjective) or
Bembidion hesperus
(noun in apposition).
Casey's
emendation is currently in prevailing usage and so deemed to be a justified emendation (ICZN 1999: Article 33.2.3.1).
Bembidion binarium
Casey, 1918: 9. Type locality:
"California"
(original citation). Lectotype (♂), designated by Lindroth (1975: 115), in USNM [# 36796]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1962: 8).
Distribution.
This western species ranges from southeastern British Columbia to Vancouver Island, south to east-central California [see Maddison 1993: Fig. 269].
