NEW SPECIES OF THE FAMILIES ATELURIDAE AND LEPISMATIDAE (ZYGENTOMA) FROM ABKHAZIA AND ADYGEA

摘要

Four new species of bristletails from the families Ateluridae (Atelura abkhazica sp. n., Nipponatelurina caucasica sp. n.) and Lepismatidae (Lepisma xylophila sp. n., L. adygei sp. n.) are described. Atelura abkhazica sp. n. differs from other species of the genus Atelura in the small size, smaller quantity of ovipositor divisions, apical sensory cones on parameres, that are absent in other species of the genus, and the smaller quantity of lateral pegs on urotergite X. The genus Nipponatelurina includes two species (N. kurosai Mendes et Machida, 1994 and N. caucasica sp. n.). Among the distinguishing features of N. caucasica sp. n. are the significant number of short minute thin cilia on a head capsule, the longer last segment of maxillary palps, and the smaller number of setae at the back edge of urosternites IV-VII. Lepisma xylophila sp. n. differs from L. saccharinum and L. chlorosoma in the distribution of epidermic pigment and urotergites chaetotaxy. L. adygei sp. n. is the closest to the synanthropic species L. saccharinum, from which differs in the size of body, color of scales on the upper part of the body, and the structure of labial palps, urotergite X, ovipositor and parameres.
