As molecular identification method, DNA barcoding based on partial cytochrome  c  oxidase subunit 1 ( COI ) sequences has been proven to be a useful tool for species determination in many insect taxa including ground beetles. In this study we tested the effectiveness of DNA barcodes to discriminate species of the ground beetle genus    Bembidion    and some closely related taxa of Germany. DNA barcodes were obtained from 819 individuals and 78 species, including sequences from previous studies as well as more than 300 new generated DNA barcodes. We found a 1:1 correspondence between  BIN  and traditionally recognized species for 69 species (89%). Low interspecific distances with maximum pairwise  K2P  values below 2.2% were found for three species pairs, including two species pairs with haplotype sharing (   Bembidion   atrocaeruleum   /   Bembidion   varicolor    and    Bembidion   guttula   /   Bembidion   mannerheimii   ). In contrast to this, deep intraspecific sequence divergences with distinct lineages were revealed for two species (   Bembidion   geniculatum   /   Ocys   harpaloides   ). Our study emphasizes the use of DNA barcodes for the identification of the analyzed ground beetles species and represents an important step in building-up a comprehensive barcode library for the   Carabidae   in Germany and Central Europe as well.
