Type species: Bembidium assimile Gyllenhal, 1810 designated by Jeannel (1941b: 462). Etymology. From the Greek prefix diplo - (double) and the generic name Campa , alluding to the frontal sulcus being dou ble (" les bourrelets frontaux sont dedoubles ") in the adult [feminine]. Note. Bedel (1896: 56) originally included two species in his new genus-group taxon: Bembidion assimile Gyllenhal and Bembidion fumigatum (Duftschmid). Paralopha Casey, 1918: 153 [junior homonym of Paralopha Bethune-Baker, 1908]. Type species: Ochthedromus sulcatus LeConte, 1847 (= Peryphus transparens Gebler, 1830) by original designation. Synonymy established by Netolitzky (1931: 164). Etymology. From the Greek para (near, next to) and the generic name Lopha [ q.v .] [feminine]. Diversity. Northern Hemisphere, with eight species in the Nearctic (one Holarctic species) and Palaearctic (eight species) Regions. Identification. Lindroth (1963b: 393-395) covered the North American species in his monograph of the Canadian and Alaskan Carabidae . Taxonomic Note. One species ( Bembidion longipenne Putzeys) from Venezuela is currently included in this subgenus but is probably not consubgeneric with members of Diplocampa . Bembidion hesperus Crotch, described from the Azores and listed in this subgenus by Lorenz (2005: 223), is a junior synonym of Bembidion ambiguum Dejean (Lindroth 1960b: 6), a species of the subgenus Neja Motschulsky.
