Abstract
Keys to subgenera and review of 22 species of the genus Aleochara Gravenhorst occurring in Arctic and Subarctic regions of Canada and Alaska are presented. The following is provided for each species: a morphological diagnosis, distribution, information about habitat and methods of collection, key references, colour images of the habitus, and black and white images of the genitalia (median lobe of the aedeagus, spermatheca) and terminal segments of both sexes.
