Bembidion grapii Gyllenhal, 1827

Bembidium brunnipes C.R. Sahlberg, 1827a [19 May]: 191 [primary homonym of Bembidium brunnipes Sturm, 1825]. Type locality: "Fennia Australi" (original citation). Syntype(s) location unknown (possibly in ZMH).

Bembidium grapii Gyllenhal, 1827 [July-October]: 403. Type locality: "Lapponia boreali" (original citation), restricted to "Abisko, Sweden" by Lindroth (1963b: 319). Syntype(s) location unknown (possibly in UZIU). Synonymy established with the name Bembidion sahlbergii Dejean by Schaum (1861: 407). Note. The spelling grapei is an incorrect subsequent spelling, first introduced by Zetterstedt (1837: 25), not currently in prevailing usage.

Bembidium sahlbergii Dejean, 1831: 144. Type locality: «Finlande» (original citation). Syntype(s) probably in MHNP. Synonymy established with the name Bembidion brunnipes Sahlberg by Dejean (1831: 144).

Peryphus picipes Kirby, 1837: 54. Type locality: "Lat. 65° [= apparently region of Great Bear Lake, Northwest Territories]" (original citation). Two syntypes [2 originally cited] in BMNH (Lindroth 1953b: 176). Synonymy established by Fall (1926a: 133), confirmed by Lindroth (1953b: 176).

Bembidium aereum Jacquelin du Val, 1851: 508. Type locality: "Laponie méridionale» (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] probably in MHNP. Synonymy established by Piochard de La Brûlerie (1876: 447).

Ochthedromus nitens LeConte, 1857c: 10. Type locality: "ora orientali insulae Kadjak" (original citation for Ochthedromus picipes (Kirby) sensu Mannerheim, 1853). Syntype(s) location unknown (possibly in ZMH). Synonymy established by Henshaw (1885: 6). Note. This name was proposed for Peryphus picipes Kirby, 1837 sensu Mannerheim (1853: 151). Therefore the type series consists of the specimen(s) which had been misidentified (ICZN 1999: Article 72.4.2). The specimen labeled "Type 5519" in MCZ is not a syntype since it bears also a pale blue disc (= north shore of Lake Superior).

Metallina planicollis Motschulsky, 1860: 91. Type locality: "Kamtschatka [Russia]" (original citation). Three syntypes in ZMMU (Keleinikova 1976: 211). Synonymy established, under the name Bembidion picipes (Kirby), by Netolitzky (1935a: 29).

Bembidium islandicum Sharp, 1900: 254. Type locality: "Reykjavik [Iceland]" (original citation). Syntypes location unknown. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1931: 169).

Bembidion scrutatum Casey, 1918: 64. Type locality: "Eldora [Boulder County], Colorado" (original citation). Lectotype (♂), designated by Erwin (1984a: 173), in USNM [# 36987]. Synonymy established by Erwin (1984a: 173).

Bembidion nitens seductum Casey, 1918: 66. Type locality: "Eldora [Boulder County], Colorado" (original citation). Lectotype (♀), designated by Lindroth (1975: 118), in USNM [# 36900]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1963b: 319).

Bembidion grapei v. nitiduloides Munster, 1930: 354. Type locality: "Kaafjord i Alten og desuten ved Jennestad [Norway]" (original citation). Holotype location unknown (possibly in ZMUO). Synonymy established by Munster (1932: 82).
