David R. Maddison
Containing group: Bembidion (Bracteon)

Adult External Characteristics

As this species is known from only one specimen, its characteristics are not well understood. The single specimen is large (standardized body length = 6.1 mm), convex, and shiny. The third elytral interval is narrow, with small silver spots. The appendages are pale rufous or rufotestaceous. The pronotum lacks a long basilateral carina, and is without midlateral seta. The third protarsomere of this male has an unusual lateral projection.

Comparison with Related Species

Difficult to distinguish from some specimens of B. argenteolum. Shinier, with narrower interval 3, and smaller silver spots. Appendages paler than B. argenteolum, with antennomere 1 entirely rufotestaceous. Protarsomere 3 of male with lateral projection. Male genitalia of the holotype is identical in all studied aspects to that of B. argenteolum specimens.

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
