Bembidion (Ocydromus) chloreum Bates, 1873

( Figs. 13 , 25 )

Bembidium chloreum Bates, 1873: 332 (incorrect spelling of the generic name). Bembidion (Peryphus) chloreum: NETOLITZKY (1943–44): 51; JEDLIČKA (1965): 146. Bembidion (Ocydromus) chloreum: TOLEDANO (2000) : 66. Bembidion (Asioperyphus) chloreum: MARGGI et al. (2003) : 243; LORENZ (1998): 215; LORENZ (2005): 231.

Material examined. TAIWAN: Chihpenchi, Taitung, Taitung Hsien, 25.xi.2001, Terada lgt., 2 JJ 2 ♀♀ ( KTHJ, CTVR).

Type ( China) seen ( BMNH).

Distribution. China, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan.

Remark. This is the first report of this species from Taiwan. The Japanese specimens seem to differ slightly from the Chinese ones, and they could be possibly referred to B. sapporense Jedlička, 1951 (S. Morita, pers. comm.). Since B. chloreum was cited from China, Foochow [= Fudzhou] ( KIRSCHENHOFER 1984), its presence in Taiwan seems plausible because a similar distribution is already known for B. foochowense (see above). In any case, the complex of these species should be revised.
