Bembidium hesperiumFall, 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 hesperiumhas been credited to Casey (1918: 9) by some authors on the basis that Casey proposed a replacement name for Bembidium hesperumFall, 1910, supposedly a junior primary homonym of Bembidion hesperusCrotch, 1867. In fact, Casey (1918) emended Fall'sname to Bembidion hesperiumsince the name Bembidion hesperumis an incorrect latinization for Bembidion hesperium(adjective) or Bembidion hesperus(noun in apposition). Casey'semendation is currently in prevailing usage and so deemed to be a justified emendation (ICZN 1999: Article 33.2.3.1). Bembidion binariumCasey, 1918: 9.
