Bembidion properans (Stephens, 1828)

Tachypus properans Stephens, 1828b: 26. Type locality: "near London; Spitchweek, Devon; Netley, Salop [United Kingdom]" (original citation), restricted to "London, Engl[and]" by Lindroth (1963b: 256). Five syntypes in BMNH (Netolitzky 1935b: 135).

Tachypus chalceus Stephens, 1828b: 27. Type locality: "near London [United Kingdom]" (original citation). Syntype(s) in BMNH. Synonymy established by Jacquelin du Val (1851: 504).

Bembidium velox Erichson, 1837: 134 [secondary homonym of Bembidion velox (Linnaeus, 1761)]. Type locality: Mark Brandenburg [Prussia] (inferred from title of the book). Syntype(s) probably in ZMHB. Synonymy established by Jacquelin du Val (1851: 505).

Bembidium 14-striatum C.G. Thomson, 1871: 361. Replacement name for Bembidium velox Erichson, 1837. Note. Because Thomson proposed this name as a replacement name, the lectotype of Bembidion quatuordecimstriatum designated by Lindroth (1963b: 256) in ZMLS has no status.

Distribution.

This Palaearctic species is adventive in North America where it is known from Newfoundland (Larson and Langor 1982: 592) to the coastal area of New Brunswick (Bousquet 1987a: 120), including the Magdalen Islands in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence (Larochelle 1975: 60), and from southeastern Maine (Larochelle and Larivière 1990a: 28, 33). One specimen has been collected recently in a campground in Kittitas County, central Washington (Robert L. Davidson pers. comm. 2008). The first inventoried specimen collected on this continent was found in Nova Scotia in 1942 (Majka et al. 2007: 7).
