A checklist of all identified species of the staphylinid subfamily Aleocharinae known to occur in New Zealand and associated outer islands (including the Kermadec, Chatham and Auckland Islands) is presented. Included for each species, and for synonyms known from New Zealand, is a reference to the original description, type locality and type depository, and for each species the known distribution within and outside New Zealand. Type material was sought and is summarized for all indigenous New Zealand species, with lectotypes designated for 55 names and confirmation of holotypes and prior designation of lectotypes when necessary. One nomenclatural change is implemented: the preoccupied generic name Gyronotus Cameron is replaced by Marecon Blackwelder. Other taxonomic changes are not made, pending further study and revision that is badly needed. Of the 169 currently known species of Aleocharinae reported from New Zealand, at least 26 are believed to be adventive from elsewhere, two may occur naturally elsewhere, and 141 (83%) are evidently endemic to this region. Of the 65 genera represented by these described species, 27 (42%) are also endemic to the New Zealand region; an additional five genera represented in New Zealand only by unidentified or undescribed species are also noted. Ten genera are adventive. However, the actual aleocharine fauna of New Zealand will undoubtedly be much larger, and the generic composition highly modified, when the fauna is fully explored and studied in a world context.
本文列出了已知在新西兰及相关外岛（包括克马德克群岛、查塔姆群岛和奥克兰群岛）出现的隐翅虫亚科隐翅虫属所有已鉴定物种的清单。清单中包含了每个物种以及新西兰已知的同义词，并注明了原始描述、模式产地和模式标本保存地，还列出了每个物种在新西兰境内外的已知分布。我们查找了模式标本，并总结了所有新西兰本土物种的相关信息，为55个名称指定了选模式，并在必要时确认了全模式以及先前指定的选模式。实施了一项命名变更：已被占用的属名Gyronotus Cameron被Marecon Blackwelder取代。在进行急需的进一步研究和修订之前，暂未进行其他分类学变更。在新西兰报告的目前已知的169种隐翅虫属物种中，至少有26种被认为是从其他地方引入的，两种可能在其他地方自然出现，141种（83%）显然是该地区特有的。在这些已描述物种所代表的65个属中，27个（42%）也是新西兰地区特有的；还指出了另外五个仅由未鉴定或未描述物种在新西兰代表的属。有十个属是外来的。然而，当在全球范围内对新西兰的隐翅虫动物群进行全面探索和研究时，其实际的隐翅虫动物群无疑会大得多，属的组成也会有很大变化。
