Bembidion honestum Say, 1823

Bembidium honestum Say, 1823a: 82. Type locality: "Water Gap, N[ew] J[ersey]-P[ennsylvani]a [possibly Delaware Water Gap in Monroe County, New Jersey]" (neotype label). Neotype (♂), designated by Lindroth and Freitag (1969: 336), in MCZ [# 33067].

Ochthedromus basalis LeConte, 1847: 454. Type locality: "provinciis mediis" (original citation). Four syntypes in MCZ [# 5494]. Synonymy established by Melsheimer (1853: 26), confirmed by Maddison (2008: 179).

Bembidium platyderum Chaudoir, 1868b: 242. Type locality: «New-York» (original citation). Lectotype (♀), designated by Lindroth (1963b: 248), in MHNP. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1963b: 248), confirmed by Maddison (2008: 179).

Distribution.

This species ranges from Cape Breton Island to eastern Illinois, south to North Carolina along the Appalachian Mountains [see Maddison 2008: Fig. 23]. One old specimen simply labeled from Wisconsin is known (Messer 2010: 35). The records from “Iowa,” “Kansas” (Hayward 1897: 56), and “Michigan” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 126) need confirmation; that from Churchill in northern Manitoba (Elias 1984: 142) is in error (Maddison 2008: 181); those from “Wyoming,” “Texas” (Hayward 1897: 56), “Arkansas,” and “Mississippi” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 126) are probably in error.
