Type species:  Cillenus lateralisSamouelle, 1819 by monotypy. Etymology. Unknown [masculine].  CillenumCurtis, 1828: plate 200. Unjustified emendation of  CillenusSamouelle, 1819.  Diversity. Two species, one along the Pacific Coast of North America, the other (  Bembidion lateraleSamouelle) along the coasts of Europe and northern Africa. The three other species listed in this subgenus by Lorenz (2005: 216) belong to the subgenus  DesarmatocillenusNetolitzky (see Lindroth 1980).  Identification. Kavanaugh and Erwin (1992: 317) emended Lindroth's(1963b) key to  Bembidionto accommodate the new species.  Taxonomic Note. This taxon is ranked as a distinct genus by many authors, with  ArmatocillenusDupuis (three species in Taiwan and New Guinea),  DesarmatocillenusNetolitzky (14 species in southeastern Asia and the Australian Region),  ChinocillenusNetolitzky (one Chinese species),  Corallicillenus Ueno(two Japanese species), and  Novicillenus Uenoand Habu (two Japanese species) listed as subgenera (see Lorenz 2005: 216). Recently Sasakawa (2007) synonymized  Novicillenusand  Corallicillenuswith  Desarmatocillenus. Recent molecular data analyses conducted by Maddison and Ober (2011: 251) and Maddison (2012: 568) strongly support  Cillenusas a member of  Bembidion.
