980DC26FE328FFC1FF6DF8D09770FA71.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Maddison (2012) as well as Liebherr and Maddison (2013) substantially advanced our understanding of the molecular phylogeny of the genus Bembidion. These studies, however, did not include representatives of all New Zealand subgenera and did not provide any formal taxonomic changes to the subgeneric classifications of Lindroth (1976) and Toledano (2005), which are followed here.	en	Larochelle, André, Zeperyphodes, Broun, Larivière, Marie-Claude (2015): Synopsis of the genus Bembidion Latreille in New Zealand (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Bembidiini).

980DC26FE320FFC9FF6DFBD091C4FC51.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is common on the Karikari Peninsula and is therefore named after this region. Bembidion karikari is morphologically close to B. albescens. In addition to diagnostic characters of the male genitalia, B. karikari has the following distinguishing features: body paler, with antennae and legs entirely pale testaceous, elytra bearing a dark brown triangular discal marking, and abdomen dark brown; posterolateral angles of pronotum strongly obtuse, with extreme tip acute; elytra with lateral margins widened subapically and subapical tooth sharp. Both species are allopatric: B. karikari is restricted to the northernmost North Island (Northland, ND) while B. albescens occurs in the northeastern North Island from central Northland (ND) to Gisborne (GB).	en	Larochelle, André, Zeperyphodes, Broun, Larivière, Marie-Claude (2015): Synopsis of the genus Bembidion Latreille in New Zealand (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Bembidiini).

Morphological variation in terms of size, color, microsculpture, body shape, and length of membranous wings, encompasses the range previously attributed to Bembidion rotundicolle rotundicolle and B. rotundicolle eustictum. In addition, the configuration of the male aedeagus is stable across all populations studied. Consequently, there is no need to maintain the subspecific status of Bembidion rotundicolle eustictum and, together with its synonyms B. clevedonense and B. waikatoense, it is synonymized it with B. rotundicolle.	en	Larochelle, André, Zeperyphodes, Broun, Larivière, Marie-Claude (2015): Synopsis of the genus Bembidion Latreille in New Zealand (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Bembidiini).

Lindroth (1976: 168, 176) overlooked the presence of numerous short setae in addition to the usual four long ambulatory setae on the last visible sternum (sternum VII) of the female of this species. Bembidion tairuense is among the most commonly encountered species on gravelly river banks. It is well recognizable among members of the subgenus Zeplataphus by its subdepressed elytra with transverse microsculpture.	en	Larochelle, André, Zeperyphodes, Broun, Larivière, Marie-Claude (2015): Synopsis of the genus Bembidion Latreille in New Zealand (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Bembidiini).

980DC26FE331FFDFFF6DFF309757FA32.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The authors have made abundant collections of Bembidion species in Teal Valley (NN) and neighbouring areas but could not secure new specimens of B. townsendi which is only known from the female holotype. In Teal Valley, Bembidion (Zemetallina) parviceps and B. (Zeplataphus) tairuense – a rather small species morphologically close to and belonging to the same subgenus as B. townsendi – were both abundant in the field. Two aberrant specimens of B. (Zemetallina) parviceps were found; they were small in size like B. townsendi and possessed the Zeplataphus character of the elytral interval 5 with two setiferous punctures. The authors suspect that the female holotype of B. townsendi may represent an aberrant form of B. parviceps or a hybrid specimen between B. parviceps and B. tairuense.	en	Larochelle, André, Zeperyphodes, Broun, Larivière, Marie-Claude (2015): Synopsis of the genus Bembidion Latreille in New Zealand (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Bembidiini).

980DC26FE30AFFE7FF6DFB9097CCFC11.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Toledano (2005: 125) described a population of Bembidion from Jerusalem, RI (lower North Island) as B. orbiferum giachinoi stating that the male genitalia (Fig. 39 in Toledano) are identical to those of the nominotypical form (Bembidion orbiferum orbiferum) from the South Island. A close examination of the male genitalia of both forms unequivocally demonstrates them as distinct species. In addition to diagnostic characters of the male genitalia, B. giachinoi has the following features that clearly separate it from B. orbiferum: smaller, body length 5.5 – 6.2 mm; microsculpture slightly transverse on head; antennae entirely yellowish; pronotum with sides moderately sinuate posteriorly and posterolateral angles rectangular; elytra parallel about middle, black with wide yellowish lateral margins. The geographic distribution of these two allopatric species may also assist their identification.	en	Larochelle, André, Zeperyphodes, Broun, Larivière, Marie-Claude (2015): Synopsis of the genus Bembidion Latreille in New Zealand (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Bembidiini).

980DC26FE308FFE1FF6DF930913CF8F2.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Bembidion nesophilum is morphologically close to B. callipeplum and has previously been synonymized with it by Lindroth (1976). Examination of the lectotype of B. nesophilum revealed it to be a separate species from B. callipeplum. In addition to diagnostic characters of the male genitalia, B. nesophilum has the following features that clearly separate it from B. callipeplum: body slender, larger (length 3.6 – 4.9 mm); microsculpture transverse, obsolete on disc of head and pronotum, feeble on elytra; antennae subfiliform (segments 8 – 10 stout), pale testaceous; legs also pale testaceous; pronotum with sides strongly sinuate posteriorly and posterolateral angles acute, projected laterally; elytra widest before middle, with smaller light brown markings. Bembidion nesophilum is restricted to the northernmost part of the North Island (ND, AK, WO). This species is found in association with members of the subgenus Zecillenus, on the sandy banks of coastal estuarine streams; it hides during the day in the sand, at a certain distance from water.	en	Larochelle, André, Zeperyphodes, Broun, Larivière, Marie-Claude (2015): Synopsis of the genus Bembidion Latreille in New Zealand (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Bembidiini).

980DC26FE301FFEEFF6DF9B091A5FA52.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The name of this species is based on its type locality, Mangamuka (6 km NE; Opurehu River). Bembidion mangamuka is morphologically close to B. solitarium and B. bullerense. In addition to diagnostic characters of the male genitalia, B. mangamuka has the following distinguishing features: head and pronotum black; elytra dark brown; pronotum with extreme tip of posterolateral angles acute and epipleura (in dorsal view) exposed in front of posterolateral angles; elytra with shoulders obtuse and striae shallow. Bembidion mangamuka is restricted to the northern North Island (ND). The pale-legged specimens recorded from Herekino and Pakatai [= Pakotai] (ND) and identified as B. anchonoderus by Lindroth (1976: 187), refer to B. mangamuka.	en	Larochelle, André, Zeperyphodes, Broun, Larivière, Marie-Claude (2015): Synopsis of the genus Bembidion Latreille in New Zealand (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Bembidiini).

980DC26FE306FFEBFF6DFA909110FA31.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Lindroth (1976) tentatively synonymized B. attenuatum with B. hokitikense, pending examination of the male genitalia of B. attenuatum (described from Lake Tekapo, MK). The authors have dissected the male genitalia of representatives of numerous populations from Lake Tekapo and the wider Mackenzie (MK) area and have found them all to be of the same species. The synonymy of Lindroth is therefore confirmed. Lindroth (1976) recorded B. hokitikense from numerous localities on the South Island. The current revision extends the distribution of this species to the southern half of the North Island where it is known from many localities.	en	Larochelle, André, Zeperyphodes, Broun, Larivière, Marie-Claude (2015): Synopsis of the genus Bembidion Latreille in New Zealand (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Bembidiini).
