Taxonomic notes on the Korean intertidal ground beetle species of the genus Bembidion (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

To date, three intertidal species of the genus Bembidion Latreille have been recorded in Korea. During a survey of ground beetles in coastal areas of Korea, an unrecorded species, Bembidion (Sakagutia) umi Sasakawa, was discovered at the mouth of Janggicheon River, Pohang-si, South Korea. Based on the record of B. umi, the subgenus Sakagutia is also recorded for the first time in Korea. Taxonomical and ecological notes on the newly recorded species as well as Korean intertidal-related subgenera and species of the genus Bembidion are presented.
