Treatment

Subgenus Liocosmius Casey, 1918

Liocosmius Casey, 1918: 43. Type species: Ochthedromus mundus LeConte, 1852 designated by Lindroth (1963b: 343). Etymology. From the Greek leios (smooth) and cosmos (ornament, decoration), probably alluding to the polished surface ("highly polished throughout") of the adults [masculine].

Diversity.

Three western North American species.

Identification.

Lindroth (1963b: 343-345) treated two species ( Bembidion mundum and Bembidion horni ) and listed the other one, based on the original description alone, as synonym of Bembidion mundum . Later he rectified the synonymy (Lindroth 1969a: 1115).
