Diagnosis. The subgenus Xenochara is not fully defined but can be distinguished from the other congeneric taxa by the combination of following character states (see Klimaszewski, 1984; Park & Ahn, 2010b): body compact, densely pubescent, spindle-shaped; antennomere IV usually elongate or at most only slightly transverse; pronotum evenly pubescent; mesoventrite rather, completely or almost completely carinate along midline; median lobe of aedeagus of male with projecting flagellum inside, at least 1/4 as long as median lobe; female spermatheca without coils basally, but sometimes deformed basally.

Comments. Assing (2009) recently revised the subgenus Xenochara , proposing three subgeneric synonymies: Dyschara , Ophiochara , and Euryodma . The subgenus is probably by far the most speciose subgenus of the genus Aleochara , with Palearctic examples alone including 106 species ( Assing, 2009). In Japan, seven species of Xenochara are known ( Shibata et al., 2013).
