Bembidion patruele
is supported by certain details visible in these very nice images. Close-up of head shows anterior setigerous puncture distinctly separated (not touching) from the medial margin of eye; close-up of anterior elytra show characteristic orange spot medial to dark shoulder. Not seen (because of diffused photographic lighting) are both the marked iridescence of the elytra and the characteristic carinate mentum tooth (under head). Many similar species have a flatter mentum tooth. Thanks Yves for another excellent teaching set of Bembidion images.
