Bembidion (Peryphanes) fraxator Menetries, 1832

Bembidion (Peryphanes) lucidum (Faldermann, 1836)

Notes.

Bembidion lucidum Faldermann, 1836 was retained, after a study of the type specimen by Netolitzky (1910) as being very close to B. dalmatinum Dejean, 1831. Later Netolitzky (1914b) synonymized Bembidion lucidum with Bembidion dalmatinum Bembidion fraxator Ménétriés, 1832 (currently Bembidion fraxator is considered a valid species). Marggi et al. (2003: 271) listed B. lucidum as a synonym of B. dimidiatum Ménétriés, 1832 which was moved to "incertae sedis"; while the moving of B. dimidiatum was mentioned (p. 21) nothing was stated about B. lucidum . This situation remains also in Marggi et al. (2017).

After having carefully analyzed the literature regarding these taxa (e.g., Ménétriés 1832; Faldermann 1836; Schaum 1861; Netolitzky 1910, 1914b; Kryzhanovskij et al. 1995; Belousov and Sokolov 1996), we confirm that B. lucidum Faldermann is a synonym of B. fraxator Ménétriés and not of B. dimidiatum Ménétriés, which, moreover, belongs to another subgenus (see above).
