Identification.
Lindroth (1963b: 249-250) recognized two species, Bembidium americanum and Bembidium bifossulatum , in this subgenus and treated both in his monograph. Maddison (1993: 160) showed that one of the species, Bembidium bifossulatum , consisted of two distinct forms which he treated as subspecies. Subsequently (Maddison 2012: 541) he listed them as distinct species.
