  • Taxonomic Notes. Aleochara repetita shares most characters with members of the puberula species-group as defined by Klimaszewski and Ashe (1992), except for the straight venter of the median lobe of the aedeagus. Among the species of the puberula species-group, A. repetita is very similar to A. opacula, from which it differs by the characters mentioned in Diagnosis. Aleochara repetita and A. opacula differ from the other species of the puberula species-group by the characters listed in Klimaszewski and Maus (1999).
  • Aleochara repetita was previously affiliated within the subgenus Baryodma Thomson, 1858 by Bernhauer and Scheerpeltz (1926). Later, it was treated as Coprochara Mulsant and Rey, 1874, by Caron et al. (2008), since Baryodma was considered a synonym of Coprochara in Gouix and Klimaszewski (2007). However, in Bernhauer and Scheerpeltz (1926) and Caron et al. (2008), no morphological characters were used to justify its subgeneric affiliation. Here, we transfer A. repetita to the subgenus Xenochara because its body is evenly pubescent, pubescence on the elytra is directed straight posteriorly, antennomeres 6-10 are moderately transverse, and the mesoventrite process is fully carinate (Klimaszewski and Maus 1999).
