Bembidion (Notaphus) patruele grp
Bembidion (Notaphus) patruele grp is my provisional best fit following an initial examination of this specimen now @ PWMC. California is blessed (or cursed) with 12 similar group members. Most are poorly known/described and unfortunately several are cryptic Casey species. I will attempt difficult Casey keys as I must revisit this specimen later. Thanks a lot Jim.
