A taxonomic study of the Staphylinid subfamily Aleocharinae of the Australian Region is presented, including a critical revision of 14 typical series, the lectotype of which is designated when necessary. 10 new genera are deseribed (3 in Athetini, 2 in Thamiaraeini, and 5 in Oxypodini) and 38 species (3 in Gyrophaenini, 2 in Bolitocharini, 4 in Diestotini, 21 in Athetini, 5 in Thamiaraeini, and 3 in Oxypodini). New combinations are proposed for 12 species (l in Homalotini, 1 in Diestotini, 3 in Athetini, 6 in Oxypodini, and 1 in Aleocharini). The genus Correa Fauvel is considered junior synonym of the genus Aleochara. Every new genus and species is described and illustrated.
In this paper eight tribes (Gyrophaenini, Placusini, Homalotini, Diestotini, Falagriini, Athetini, Lomechusini, and Oxypodini), 19 genera and 42 species are recognized. Four genera (Brachyglyptaglossa n. gen. [Homalotini], Trisporusa n. gen., Daccordiusa n. gen. [Lomechusini], and Antistydatusa n. gen. [Oxypodini]) and 37 species are described as new. Each new genus and species is illustrated. Placusa fauveli Pasnik, 2001, from Sydney, is placed in synonymy with Placusa tridens Fauvel, 1878, from Sydney. A new combination to Spallioda for Calodera carissima Oliff is proposed.
