Geodephagous Coleoptera of Japan. 273 



Bembidium (Peryphus) elongatum, Dej. 



Dej., Sp. Gen., v., p. 148. 



Hakodate ; in crevices in a moist cliff. 



The thorax is broader than in specimens from South 

 France, Madeira, and Mesopotamia, but not much 

 broader than in one from Malaga which I have at hand 

 for comparison, or than in examples from Imeritia. 

 The Japanese form differs, however, in having a few 

 punctures on the sides of the forehead, besides the 

 central puncture. B. thermarum, Motsch., from East 

 Siberia seems to be the same species.
