Bembidion fuchsii Blaisdell, 1902

Bembidium fuchsii Blaisdell, 1902: 77. Type locality: "Blue Lakes, Alpine County, Cal[ifornia]" (original citation). Holotype (♂) in CAS [# 2664]. Etymology. The specific name was proposed for Charles Fuchs [1839-1914], an enthusiastic coleopterist. Born in Germany, Fusch immigrated to the United States at the age of 25 and settled first in New York and later in California. A large part of his collection was lost in the San Francisco earthquake and fire in 1906. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Brooklyn Entomological Society in 1872 and the California Entomological Club in 1901 which became a year later the Pacific Coast Entomological Society.

This species is known from eastern Washington (Hatch 1953: 97) to central Wyoming (Natrona County, CMNH), south at least to the Sierra Nevada in east-central California (Blaisdell 1902: 77).
