Some taxonomic and geographic aspects of genus Bembidion Latreille, 1802 subgenus Peryphanes Jeannel, 1941 are discussed here. Two new taxa are herewith described: Bembidion (Peryphanes) augusti sp. n. (Iran) and B. (P.) grandipenne safavidense ssp. n. (Iran and Iraq). We describe some further characters of Bembidion (Peryphanes) antennarium (Morvan, 1972), belonging to subgenus Peryphanes, “weiratherianum” group. Some distributional data for B. (P.) grandipenne freyi Netolitzky, 1937 (mention for Syria) and B. (P.) brunnicorne Dejean, 1831 (mentions for azerbaijan and Turkey) not reported in Marggi et al. (2017) are reported here. A key for the Peryphanes species of anatolic-Caucasian-Turanic area is provided in Italian and in English.
