Abstract

Psyllaphorura altaicasp. nov. from the Altai Mts., Russia is described and illustrated. The new species is the most similar to Psyllaphorura ryozoyoshiiWeiner & Najt, 2000 by a pseudocelli arrangement on head forming a single group in frontal part near midline. It can be distinguished from the former species by the pseudocellar formula and the number of papillae in AIIIO. P. altaicasp. nov. shares the same number of pseudocelli on the head with P. obesa (Mills, 1934), but differs by their arrangement. The key to the world species of Psyllaphorura is also provided.
