Systematic notes. The Taiwanese specimens recorded here are identical with the Chinese specimens of B. peleum , including details of the endophallus, except a slightly angulate ventral surface of the apex of the aedeagus ( Fig. 27 View Figs ). I refrain from describing here a new taxon based on this difference and I prefer to regard it as population-level characteristics. Bembidion peleum is moreover identical in all morphological characters to B. gotoense Habu, 1973 from Japan (K. Terada, pers. comm.). Both species might be synonymous, even though I am unable to state it with certainty since I have seen only an immature male specimen ( CTVR) but not the type of B. gotoense .

Distribution. Known from several localities in China ( JEDLIČKA 1965, TOLEDANO 2000) and northern Taiwan. First record from Taiwan.
