Bembidion histricum Casey, 1918: 68. Type locality: "probably Indiana" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] (♂) in USNM [# 36927]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1963b: 325).

Distribution.

This eastern species is found from New Brunswick (Webster and Bousquet 2008: 17) to "North Dakota" (Donald P. Schwert pers. comm. 1989), south to Big Bend National Park in western Texas (Dajoz 2007: 23) and Tennessee (Cannon, Clay, Fayette, Macon, Madison, Overton, Smith, Wayne, and Wilson Counties, CMNH), including northeastern New Mexico (Fall and Cockerell 1907: 157, as Bembidion picipes ). The record from British Columbia (Jarrett and Scudder 2001: 381) was based on misidentified specimens of Bembidion platynoides Hayward (UBC).

Note.

This species has been known for a long time under the name Bembidion picipes (Kirby). Lindroth (1953b: 176) showed that Kirby’s syntypes of Bembidion picipes were conspecific with those of Bembidion grapii Gyllenhal.
