Bembidion ulkei Lindroth, 1963

Bembidion ulkei Lindroth, 1963b: 314. Type locality: «Nevada» (original citation). Holotype (♂) in CMNH. Etymology. The specific name honors Henry Ulke [1821-1910], a German by birth, who emigrated with his two brothers in 1852 to the United States and settled first in New York, then Philadelphia and finally in Washington DC. He was a portrait painter by profession and painted presidents (hence his soubriquet of "painter of presidents"), cabinet officers, and worthy individuals. Following the death of his wife in 1893 he lost interest in entomology and sold his collection in November 1900 to the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh.
