Subgenus Chilioperyphus Jeannel, 1962

Chilioperyphus Jeannel, 1962; type species Bembidium orregoi Germain, by original designation.

Remarks.

This subgenus contains two described species ( Jeannel 1962; Maddison et al. 2013) (Fig. 1F) and at least three undescribed species. Males are characterized by having a brush sclerite, and by having an extremely elongate flagellum, so long that it can only fit within the median lobe through folding ( Maddison et al. 2013). Members of this subgenus occur on steep sand or clay banks of rivers and creeks.
