Abstract

The identity and taxonomic status of Aleochara pauxilla (Mulsant & Rey, 1874) are investigated based on morphological characteristics and DNA sequence data (COI/II and 18S rRNA genes). A. pauxilla (Mulsant & Rey, 1874) is finally recognised as a junior synonym of A. verna, A. pauxilla auct. nec Mulsant & Rey as conspecific with A. binotata. A lectotype of A. pauxilla is designated.
