N. Kuznetsova, A. Kuprin &amp; A. Geraskina leg.</p> <p>Diagnosis. A white, unpigmented species characterized by the presence of 2+2 relatively large ocelli; five spherical antennal sensilla with S7 being slightly larger; PAO with subdivided vesicles; the presence of only two prelabral setae; almost complete dorsal chaetotaxy with p2 present on all terga from Th. II to Abd. IV; thickened lateral sensilla on Th. II and dorsal ones on Abd. IV, and only 12–12–11 setae on the tibiotarsi I–III, respectively.</p> <p>Description. Length (without antennae) 0.38–0.42 mm, holotype – 0.42 mm. Habitus typical of the genus, slender and elongated. Body white in ethanol, sometimes with few dark pigment granules in ocular fields. Tegument granulation uniform.</p> <p>Antennae slightly shorter than head, Ant. III–IV fused dorsally. Ant. IV with simple apical vesicle; external ms, subapical or, seta i and five spherical sensilla (S2 absent, S7 larger than S8) present as usual (Fig. 6). Antennal organ of Ant. III typical, inner sensilla small, both sgv and sgd curved, sgv longer, ventral ms present. Ant. I–II with 7 and 11 setae, respectively.</p> <p>Head with 2+2 relatively large ocelli, clearly visible on ocular fields among surrounding secondary granules (Figs 2, 4–5). PAO rounded or slightly elliptic, morula-like, consisting of 7–10 subdivided vesicles (Figs 4–5); ratio of its longer axis to nearby ocellus as 2.5–2.8: 1. Buccal cone not especially long (Fig. 8). Maxilla styliform, lamellae not seen. Mandible delicate, with at least three apical teeth. Labrum with 8–9 (?) labral and only two prelabral setae (Fig. 8). Main part of labium with four ordinary setae A–D, sensorial elements absent; submentum and mentum with usual set of four setae each (Fig. 7). Head ventrally with 2+2 postlabial setae as usual.</p> <p>Dorsal chaetotaxy almost complete and symmetrical (Fig. 1). Ordinary setae thin and acuminate, lateral sensilla on Th. II and dorsal one on Abd. IV clearly thickened, candle-like or even ovoid; other dorsal sensilla slender, thin and longer than ordinary setae, total number of tergal sensilla as usual: 22/11111; lateral ms present only on Th. II. Head with unpaired seta d0 and 3 setae on ocular field (Fig. 2). Th. I with 2+2 setae. All terga from Th. II to Abd. IV with setae p2 present. Abd. V with 2+2 axial setae (a1 and p1) and without setae p2.</p> <p>Thoracic sterna without setae. Ventral tube with 4+4 setae. Unpaired axial seta usually present on sternum of Abd. III (Fig. 3). Furcal remnant without distinct cuticular swelling with few tiny setae in mid sternal position of Abd. IV (Figs 3, 9). Anal valves with two hr setae each.</p> <p>Legs I–III with 1, 2, 2 setae on upper subcoxae, 0, 1–2, 1–2 setae on lower subcoxae, 3, 5–6, 6–7 setae on coxae, 5, 5, 3–5 on trochanters, and 12, 10–11, 10–11 setae on femora. Tibiotarsi with 12–12–11 setae: all setae T, A4, A5 and M absent, as well as seta B7 on leg III (Figs 10–11). Unguis toothless, unguiculus absent as usual.</p> <p>Etymology. The species is named after its most characteristic feature, which appears to be unique to the genus, namely, the compound lobes in PAO; from Latin sectilis ––divided.</p> <p>Affinities. Micranurida sectilis sp. nov. shows a number of unusual features (Table 1), therefore being hardly comparable to any known species of the genus. For instance, the complex lobes in PAO is not known in any of the described congeners. The absence of a medial pair of prelabral setae has been noted only in M. rostrata Babenko, 2007 (Central Siberia). The strong reduction of tibiotarsal setae is also quite unusual: the presence of 12–12–11 setae is known only in three congeners, i.e., M. sensillata (Gisin, 1953), M. balta Fjellberg, 1998 (both from Europe), and M. potapovi (Russian Far East). A complete dorsal chaetotaxy with the presence of p2 setae on all terga from Th. II to Abd. IV is not common either. It is not typical of most European species, but, besides M. sectilis sp. nov., it is also known in a number of Eastern Palaearctic congeners, for example, M. rostrata, M. russica, M. potapovi and M. distincta sp. nov. (see description below). All these species are easily distinguished from M. sectilis sp. nov. by other features, for example the absence (M. rostrata, M. potapovi and M. distincta sp. nov.) or fewer ocelli (M. russica).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0380D71CFFD5FFF891FCFE1C43F2FE98	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

N. Kuznetsova &amp; M. Potapov leg.</p> <p>Diagnosis. A white, unpigmented species characterized by the absence of ocelli; the presence of six ovoid or flame-shaped sensilla, and the absence of seta i on Ant. IV; dorsal side of body with prominent fields of coarser granulation; the presence of only six setae on basal parts of labium; almost complete dorsal chaetotaxy with p2 present on all terga from Th. II to Abd. IV; thickened lateral sensilla on Th. II and tergum of Abd. IV, and 15–15–14 or 14–14–13 setae on the tibiotarsi.</p> <p>Description. Length (without antennae) 0.36–0.38 mm, holotype – 0.38 mm. Habitus similar to the genus, slightly expanded. Body white, without pigment. Head and all terga with regular prominent fields of coarser granulation (Fig. 15).</p> <p>Antennae slightly shorter than head, Ant. III–IV fused dorsally. Ant. IV with simple apical vesicle and six more or less spherical or flame-shaped sensilla (S1–S4, S7–S8); external ms present as usual but subapical or and seta i absent (Figs 16–17). Antennal organ of Ant. III typical, inner sensilla small, both sgv and sgd curved, rather small and subequal. Ant. I–II with 7 and 11 setae, respectively.</p> <p>Ocelli absent. PAO rounded or slightly elliptic, consisting of 5–9 vesicles (Figs 18–20). Buccal cone not especially long. Maxilla styliform, lamellae not seen. Mandible delicate, with at least three tiny apical teeth. Labrum with 7–10 (?) labral and four prelabral setae. Main part of labium with four ordinary setae A–D, sensorial elements absent; submentum and mentum with three setae each, probable homology as in Fig. 21, i.e. setae E and e absent. Head ventrally with 2+2 postlabial setae as usual.</p> <p>Dorsal chaetotaxy almost complete and symmetrical (Fig. 12). Ordinary setae thin and acuminate, lateral sensilla on Th. II and dorsal one on Abd. IV clearly thickened, candle-like; other dorsal sensilla slender, thin and longer than ordinary setae, total number of tergal sensilla as usual: 22/11111; lateral ms present only on Th. II. Head with unpaired seta d0 and 3 setae on prominent ocular field (Fig. 13). Th. I with 2+2 setae. All terga from Th. II to Abd. IV with setae p2 present and set anteriorly to setae p1 and p3. Abd. V with 1+1 axial setae (p1) between sensilla p3, i.e. setae a1 and p2 absent. Unlike the pattern of two axial fields of coarser granulation characteristic to all terga from Th. II to Abd. III, axial setae on Abd. IV (a1, p1 and p2) and Abd. V (p1 and p3) set on single medial field.</p> <p>Thoracic sterna without setae. Ventral tube with 4+4 setae. The presence of unpaired axial setae on abdominal sterna uncertain: such seta present on sternum of Abd. III in one paratype, but two setae present on this position in holotype and another paratype (Fig. 14). Furcal field without distinct cuticular swelling with few tiny setae in mid sternal position of Abd. IV. Anal valves with two hr setae each.</p> <p>Legs I – III with 1, 2, 2 setae on upper subcoxae, 0,?,? setae on lower subcoxae, 3, 5, 6 setae on coxae, 5, 5, 5 on trochanters, and 12, 11, 10 setae on femora. Tibiotarsi with 15–15–14 setae, respectively, i.e. setae T2, T3, A4 and M absent, as well as seta B7 on leg III (Figs 22–23), one of the paratypes additionally lacks seta A5, having totally 14–14–13 tibiotarsal setae. Unguis toothless, unguiculus absent as usual.</p> <p>Remarks. The material from Anyuinski National Park, Khabarovsk Territory, contains one immature specimen which also lacks ocelli, has coarse granulation of the integument (but without prominent tubercles), six antennal sensilla, and strongly swollen sensilla on Th. II and Abd. IV. Unlike M. distincta sp. nov., it is characterized by the presence of seta i on Ant. IV, three ordinary setae and two sensory elements on the main part of the labium, more strongly reduced dorsal chaetotaxy without p2 setae on the abdominal terga, and a complete set of tibiotarsal setae, i.e. altogether 19–19–18, respectively. Obviously, this is a different species, probably related to M. spirillifera Hammer, 1953, but additional material is necessary to describe it.</p> <p>Etymology. The name of the new species reflects its clear differences from congeners, from Latin distinctus– – distinct.</p> <p>Affinities. The genus Micranurida s. str. embodies only six species characterized by the presence of six sensilla (including sensillum S2 sensu D’Haese) on Ant. IV, namely, M. spirillifera, M. retezatica Gruia &amp; Harșia, 1990, M. bescidica Smolis &amp; Skarżyński, 2004, M. rostrata, M. russica and M. potapovi. Most of them are easily distinguished by the number of tibiotarsal setae: 15–15–14 setae in M. distincta sp. nov., vs 12–12– 11 in M. potapovi, 14– 13–14 in M. rostrata, 14–14– 14 in M. bescidica and 17–17– 16 in M. spirillifera and M. russica (Table 1). This character is unknown only for M. retezatica, a European species characterized by elongated sensilla S7 on the antennae, as well as the absence of p2 setae on all terga.</p> <p>The presence of clearly defined fields of coarser granulation on all terga makes it easy to distinguish M. distincta sp. nov. from the vast majority of congeners. Perhaps the only exception is M. russica, described from the same region (a comparison with the latter species is given below).</p> <p>Taking into account the dorsal chaetotaxy of M. distincta sp. nov., in particular, the presence of p2 setae not only on the thoracic, but also on the abdominal terga, it is comparable only to three Eastern Palearctic species of the above list, namely, M. rostrata, M. potapovi, and M. russica. Of these, the former two are eyeless, like M. distincta sp. nov., while M. russica has 1+1 ocelli. However, it is the latter species, whose main diagnostic feature (the fusion of two sensilla on the antennae) is almost unique to the genus (a similar fusion is known only in M. bescidica), that seems to be most close to M. distincta sp. nov. This assumption is mainly based on a high similarity of their dorsal chaetotaxy, in particular the anterior position of the p2 setae on the terga and the location of all dorsal setae within the fields of enlarged granules. The only sound difference between the dorsal chaetotaxy of these two species lies in the presence of four ordinary chaetae (а3, а4, m4 and p4) in dorsolateral position on Th. II-III in M. russica (vs three such setae in M. distincta sp. nov., i.e. m4 is absent), as well as 2+2 setae between sensilla on Abd. V in M. russica, vs 1+1 setae in M. distincta sp. nov.</p> <p>It is also noteworthy that these two species are not only very similar morphologically and inhabit the same region, but both can also occur in the same biotopes and even in the same soil sample. Nevertheless, in addition to the above-mentioned differences in dorsal chaetotaxy, the number of tibiotarsal setae, and the presence/absence of ocelli, there are several other subtle, but significant differences that indicate the extent of possible variation in some morphological structures. Thus, the new species lacks seta i on Ant. IV, which is present in the majority of related species, including M. russica. The absence of this seta is known only in M. bescidica and M. rostrata. Some reduction of setae in the basal parts of the labium (mentum and submentum) also deserves mention. Nothing similar seems to have previously been noted in the genus.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0380D71CFFD0FFFB91FCFE7041C2FB5C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

A. Kuprin leg.</p> <p>Remarks. Three forms may be distinguished within this complex in the Russian Far East, all quite clearly separated both morphologically (see Table 1) and in habitat. The first one, being most consistent with the modern description of the European populations of M. pygmaea (Fjellberg 1998, p. 75), is mainly confined to the subalpine belt at altitudes over 1500 m. The second form (form A) is characterized by the presence of only 1+1 ocelli, the absence of colouration (except for the ocelli), slightly widened sensilla on Th. II and Abd. IV and 17–17–16 setae on the tibiotarsi, respectively (not only M-seta as in the first form, but also A4 absent). Contrary to the first form, it occurs only in lower-mountain mixed and coniferous forests. There are also few specimens of the third form (form B) which differs from the second only in the complete absence of ocelli. It is likely that at least some of these «forms» represent isolated species, but taking into account the high variability of M. pygmaea described for European populations of this widespread species (Fjellberg 1998), as well as a large number of closely related European species that are rather poorly defined and difficult to identify (Fjellberg 1998, p. 77), the description of these Far Eastern forms as independent species seems to be premature.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0380D71CFFD3FFF491FCFB3440BAFB14	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Kuznetsova leg.</p> <p>Remarks. When describing M. russica, Smolis et al. (2012) stated that seta M present [on], setae A3 and A6 absent (p. 150) from the tibiotarsi of this species. However, in most described cases in Poduromorpha (see, for instance, Fjellberg, 1990, 1991) the reduction of tibiotarsal setae begins with the loss of seta M and one or both of the inner setae of distal whorl, i.e. A4 and/or A5. As Fjellberg (1998, p. 75) wrote, the tibiotarsi [in M. pygmaea] with 18–18–17 setae, seta M absent. … Juveniles and subadults may lack one or more of tibiotarsal setae T3, T4, A4, A5. Thus, the absence of setae A3 and A6 postulated for M. russica seems doubtful. Instead we believe that actually this species lacks setae M and A4, which is more usual to the genus.</p> <p>The species appears to be rather widespread in the region under study.
