Type species: Bembidium rickseckeri Hayward, 1897 designated by Lindroth (1963b: 407). Etymology. Anagram of the generic name Peryphus [ q.v .] [masculine]. Diversity. One species in western North America. Identification. Lindroth (1963b: 407-408) covered the species in his monograph of the Canadian and Alaskan Carabidae . Taxonomic Note. Molecular data analyses presented by Maddison and Ober (2011) and Maddison (2012) strongly suggest that this genus is not closely related to the other members of Bembidiina . However, its relationship is not established. Because there are no family-group name proposed for Phrypeus , the genus is left for lack of anything better in the subtribe Bembidiina .
