The taxonomy and distribution of the genus Anurida (Collembola: Neanuridae) in the northern Palaearctic
- N/A
The paper provides information on taxonomy of Anurida species from the northern Palaearctic. 4 new species (A. azurea, A. palustris, A. tatianae, A. sakhensis) are described and several forms are regarded as junior synonyms, viz. A. tundricola Tshelnokov (= A. alpina Agrell), A. balagannakhi Tshelnokov (= A. annatshagi Tshelnokov), A. nerensis Tshelnokov (= A. beringi Fjellberg), A. jakutica Tshelnokov (= A. bondarenkoae Tshelnokov), A. polychnetosa Tshelnokov (= A. hammerae Christiansen), A. mandibulata Tshelnokov (= A. hammerae Christiansen), A. macrochaetosa Tshelnokov (= A. luciae Fjellberg), A. tshuktshorum Tshelnokov (= A. narli Fjellberg), A. arctica Tshelnokov [= A. papillosoides (Hammer)], A. wrangelensis Tshelnokov [= A. polaris (Hammer)], A. tajmyrica Tshelnokov (= A. subarctica Fjellberg). The peculiarities of zonal and geographical distributions of Anurida species in the northern Palaearctic are discussed. A key to the identification of the northern Holarctic species of the genus is given.
