Species of the Genus Protaphorura (Collembola: Onychiuridae) Described on Material of Yu.I. Chernov from Western Taimyr

摘要

Seven species of the genus Protaphorura Absolon, 1901 from the Eastern Palaearctic, viz. P. taimyrica (Martynova, 1976), P. tundricola (Martynova, 1976), P. subarctica (Martynova, 1976), P. pjasinae (Martynova, 1976), P. tschernovi (Martynova, 1976),P. borealis (Martynova, 1973), and P. cf microcellata (Dunger, 1978), have been redescribed. The original descriptions of the majority of these species were based on Yu.I. Chernov’s material collected on Western Taimyr in the environs of the legendary “Tareya” field station. The type material and/or new collection in the environs of the type-localities were used for redescriptions. The identification key to the above species and maps of their distribution in the Palaearctic are given.
