Bembidiina of Afrotropical Region. 3 Bembidion subgenus Peryphus Dejean, 1821 and related subgenera (Coleoptera, Carabidae)

The six known Afrotropical species attributed to Bembidion subgenus Peryphus Dejean, 1821 in the previous literature (B. scottustulatum Netolitzky, 1937, B. muscicola Basilewsky, 1953, B. melanocerum Chaudoir, 1876, B. jeanneli Alluaud, 1939, B. sjoestedti Alluaud, 1926 and B. africanum Chaudoir, 1876) are here revised. For one of them, B. muscicola Basilewsky, 1953, secondary homonym of the North American B. (Semicampa) muscicola Hayward, 1897, a synonymy with B. basistriatum Fairmaire, 1893, is proposed. Bembidion basistriatum, B. melanocerum and B. africanum are transferred to the subgenus Ocydromus Clairville, 1806. In addition, B. fontinale Raffray, 1885 currently assigned to the genus Sinechostictus Motschulsky, 1864, is placed into the Bembidion subgenus Ocydromus Clairville, 1806. For B. jeanneli the lectotype and two paralectotypes are designated. Four new species from Ethiopia are also described: Bembidion (Ocydromus) augustovignai n.sp., B. (Ocydromus) melanoceroides n.sp., sister species of B. melanocerum, and two species closely related to B. scottustulatum: B. (Peryphus) damota n.sp. and B. (Peryphus) baleense n.sp.
