Bembidion versicolor (LeConte, 1847)

Notaphus variegatus Kirby, 1837: 58 [secondary homonym of Bembidion variegatum Say, 1823]. Type locality: northern parts of British America (inferred from title of the book), restricted to "Nipigon, Ont[ario]" by Lindroth (1963b: 377). Two syntypes in BMNH labeled "S[outh] of L[ake] Winnipeg" (Lindroth 1953b: 176).

Ochthedromus versicolor LeConte, 1847: 462. Replacement name for Ochthedromus variegatus (Kirby, 1837). Note. Because this name was proposed as a replacement name, the specimen labeled as type [# 5535] of Bembidion versicolor in MCZ has no status.

Bembidion tolerans Casey, 1918: 132. Type locality: "Metlakatla, British Columbia" (original citation). Lectotype (♀), designated by Lindroth (1975: 121), in USNM [# 37014]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1954b: 127).

Bembidion terracense Casey, 1924: 41. Type locality: "Terrace, British Columbia" (original citation). Lectotype (♂), designated by Lindroth (1975: 121), in USNM [# 37011]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1954b: 128).

Distribution.

This species is found from Newfoundland (Lindroth 1955a: 70-71) to central Alaska (Lindroth 1963b: 378), south to northwestern Oregon (Westcott et al. 2006: 7), southern Colorado (LeConte 1879d: 501; Wickham 1902: 234; Elias 1987: 632), southwestern Nebraska (Keith County, CMNH), and southern South Carolina (Ciegler 2000: 49). The records from “Kansas” (Popenoe 1878: 79) and Arkansas (Wickham 1897: 104) need confirmation; those from Texas (Wickham 1897: 104), New Mexico (Fall and Cockerell 1907: 157) and Arizona (Wickham 1897: 104; Griffith 1900: 565) possibly refer to Bembidion impotens .
