Jacekaphorura gen. nov.––a new genus of Protaphorurini (Collembola: Onychiuridae) from mountainous Yakutia, East Siberia

The Siberian fauna of Onychiuridae seems to be rather diverse and only slightly touched by taxonomic works (Martynova 1976; Fjellberg 1987; Pomorski 2001). The vast territory of Yakutia (Sakha Republic) is not an exception. Thus, only 3 of 13 Onychiuridae species collected in 2002 by O. Makarova in...

Description
Summary:The Siberian fauna of Onychiuridae seems to be rather diverse and only slightly touched by taxonomic works (Martynova 1976; Fjellberg 1987; Pomorski 2001). The vast territory of Yakutia (Sakha Republic) is not an exception. Thus, only 3 of 13 Onychiuridae species collected in 2002 by O. Makarova in upper current of Kyubyume River in the eastern mountainous part of Yakutia could be identified more or less correctly during a primary sorting of material. Up to now some of the others were described by Pomorski & Kaprus’ (2007) and Babenko (2009). Here we present a description of a new species from the same region which can not be placed in any existing genus.
