Note.

This species is distinct from all other North American Bembidion (see Bousquet 1997b: 332) but only the original specimen is known. It is possible that the lectotype is mislabeled. Motschulsky (1859a: 130) added at the end of this species description "Je crois que cette espèce se rencontre aussi dans les possessions russes, notamment sur l’île Kenoi [Alaska]".
