Bembidion concitatum Casey, 1924: 35. Type locality: "Marquette [Marquette County], Michigan" (original citation for Bembidion nigripes (Kirby) sensu Casey, 1918).

Distribution.

This species ranges from Newfoundland (Lindroth 1955a: 67) to Vancouver Island, north to central Alaska and the Mackenzie River delta in northern Northwest Territories (Lindroth 1963b: 370-371), south to El Dorado County in eastern California (Maddison 1985: 113), “Utah” (Hayward 1897: 105), northern New Mexico (Taos County, UASM), eastern North Dakota (Tinerella 2003: 635), northeastern Wisconsin (Messer 2010: 36), and the upper peninsula of Michigan (Casey 1924: 35, as Bembidion concitatum ); also found in eastern Siberia (Lindroth 1963b: 371) and Japan (Marggi et al. 2003: 254). The records from western Maine (Harvey and Knight (1897: 79), northeastern New York (Notman 1928: 216), “Pennsylvania” (Leng and Beutenmüller 1893: 136), “Illinois” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 142), southern South Dakota (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975: 18), and southern Oklahoma (Elliott et al. 2006: 125) are likely in error. Fossil remnants, dated between 15,100 and 15,300 years B.P., have been unearthed in central Iowa (Schwert 1992: 77).
