FIGURE 25. Phylogeny and possible character evolution of the Bembidion (‘Cillenus̓) complex based on the strict consensus tree obtained in the successive-weighted analysis. Black circles indicate nodes shared by the strict consensus tree resulting from the equally-weighted analysis. Numbers below branches indicate bootstrap values in the successiveweighted analysis / bootstrap values in the equally-weighted analysis / Bremer support in the equally-weighted analysis (only bootstrap values over 50% are reported). Numbers in the squares indicate characters in Table 1, and numbers above the squares indicate character-state changes. Black squares indicate unambiguously optimized characters. White squares indicate characters optimized with ACCTRAN and DELTRAN optimizations (marked with ‘(a)’ and ‘(d)’, respectively). The taxonomies from Lindroth (1980) and Marggi et al. (2003) are presented for comparison.

FIGURES 1–9. Habitus (1–5), elytral outermost intervals (6–7), and hind trochanter (8-9) of representative Bembidion species. 1. B. sinicum, male; 2. B. yokohamae, male (Heguri-gawa Riv); 3, 9. B. aestuarii, male (Rv. Obitsugawa). 4, 8. B. yakushimanum, holotype male; 5. B. tsutsuii, male; 6. B. yakushimanum, paratype female. 7. B. aestuarii, female (Riv. Tama). Arrows indicate posterior end of elytral outermost-intervals. Scales: 2.0 mm for 1, 1.0 mm for 2–5, 0.5 mm for 6– 9.

FIGURES 12–24. Endophalli (left anterolateral view, right lateral view) of Bembidion spp. (12–21) and an outgroup species, Blemus discus (22), and spermathecae of Bembidion spp. (23–24). 12, 23. B. sinicum; 13. B. kasaharai; 14. B. seticorne; 15. B. yokohamae; 16. B. aestuarii; 17. B. sumaoi; 18. B. tokunoshimanum; 19, 24. B. yakushimanum; 20. B. tsutsuii; 21. B. umi. Note that the endophallus of B. yokohamae (15) is not fully inflated because of damage during dissection. Numbers indicate character-number and character-state in Table 1. Scales: 0.25 mm.
