The subgenus Limnaeoperyphus Nakane, 1963, genus Bembidion Latreille, 1802, has been revised. It presently includes two species: B. quadriimpressum (Motschulsky, 1860) and B. petromarinum sp. nov., both inhabiting the littoral zones of the northwestern Pacific. A revised diagnosis of Limnaeoperyphus is presented, the lectotype of B. quadriimpressum is redescribed, and the new species is described, which, unlike B. quadriimpressum, lives in rocky areas of the coasts. The possible origins and distribution of the subgenus are hypothesized, based on the system of sea currents in the North Pacific.
