Bembidium impressum var. lapponicum Zetterstedt, 1828: 6. Type locality: "flumen Tornense [= Torne-älve] prope Wittangi [Sweden]" (original citation). Lectotype (♂), designated by Lindroth (1963b: 239), in ZMLS.

Bembidium latiusculum Motschulsky, 1844: 272. Type locality: "Daurie et Kamtchatka" (original citation), restricted to "Dauria [= Transbaikalia, Siberia, Russia]" by Lindroth (1962: 13).

Bembidium lapponicum C.G. Thomson, 1857: 18 [primary homonym of Bembidium impressum var. lapponicum Zetterstedt, 1828]. Type locality: «Torneå-elf nära Vittangi [Sweden]" (original citation). Syntype(s) in ZMLS (Charpentier 1972: 290). New synonymy. Note. Thomson (1857: 18) proposed this name for a new species referring to var.b of Bembidium impressum cited byZetterstedt (1837: 23), a transcription of Zetterstedt (1828: 6). Apparently he did not consider the italicized word " lapponicum " that followed "Var. b." as a scientific name for the variety.
