Bembidion planum (Haldeman, 1843)

Peryphus planus Haldeman, 1843b: 303. Type locality: southeastern Pennsylvania (Haldeman 1843a: 298). One possible syntype, a ♂ labeled "[pale green disc] / O. planus (Hald) Lec. [handwritten] / B. guexii Chaud [handwritten]," in MCZ (collection LeConte).

Ochthedromus planipennis LeConte, 1850: 211 [nomen dubium]. Type locality: "Kaministiquia River below Kakàbeka Falls [= near Thunder Bay, Ontario]" (original citation). Syntype(s) location unknown. Synonymy established with doubt by Lindroth (1963b: 300). Note. This name has been listed in synonymy with Bembidion fugax by LeConte (1857a: 5) himself. As expressed by Lindroth (1963b: 300), the type locality given suggests that the type specimen(s) was conspecific with Bembidion planum rather than Bembidion fugax .

Bembidium guexii Chaudoir, 1868b: 242. Unnecessary replacement name for Bembidium planum (Haldeman, 1843).
