Notes.

Jedlička (1965) described Bembidion (Peryphus) sjoelanderi from China, neglecting to specify the exact locality or mention the number of type specimens. Later, following the further division of the subgenus Bembidion Peryphus Dejean, 1821 into several separate subgenera, the species has always been listed as Bembidion species "incertae sedis" (e.g., Toledano 2000; Marggi et al. 2017). We received a photograph of the holotype, female, of Bembidion sjoelanderi , from NHRS and the examination of some exoskeletal characters (pronotum with laterobasal carina rudimental or absent; pronotum with basal punctation absent or reduced; elytral striae 1, 2, and 5 deeply impressed up to the apex) suggests that the species should be assigned to the subgenus Bembidion Terminophanes Müller-Motzfeld, 1998. After a further comparison of Bembidion sjoelanderi with many specimens of Bembidion (Terminophanes) pseudoconsumatum Kirschenhofer, 1984, species showing a marked variability in the pronotal width/pronotal length ratio (1.125 to 1.308) we were convinced that the members of both taxa were conspecific, therefore we state the following synonymy: Bembidion (Terminophanes) pseudoconsumatum Kirschenhofer, 1984 = Bembidion (Terminophanes) sjoelanderi Jedlička, 1965 syn. nov.
