==Diagnosis==
Most specimens can be separated from ''{{Taxon name|Bembidion fugax}}'' and ''{{Taxon name|Bembidion planum}}'' by a combination of: broad head and pronotum; prothorax markedly constricted at base with the lateral margins just in front of the hind angle parallel, although this parallel region is much shorter than in ''{{Taxon name|Bembidion rolandi}}'' or ''{{Taxon name|Bembidion ozarkense}}''; elytra quite flat at apex; and broad, markedly delimited frontal furrows that are clearly diverging between eyes and extended beyond the posterior supraorbital puncture.

==Geographic distribution==
We have seen specimens from '''USA''': TX, KS, IA. Reports from the literature (Hayward 1897<ref name="B5">{{aut|Hayward R}} (1897) On the species of ''Bembidium'' of America North of Mexico. Transactions of the American Entomological Society 24: 32-143.</ref >) of the presence of ''{{Taxon name|Bembidion grandiceps}}'' in '''USA''': DC, MA, NJ, NY, and PA are likely incorrect, and may be based on ''{{Taxon name|Bembidion fugax}}''.
