Arechia is an extinct genus of stingaree from the Paleogene epoch. It is known from two species (one known from articulated remains, the other from isolated teeth) that inhabited the northern Tethys Ocean during the Early Eocene. Isolated teeth of this genus are also known, potentially as late as the Early Oligocene.
