Folsomia candida
Willem, 1902
sensu lato
Discussion.
Our specimens fit to diagnosis of '
F. candida
sensu lato' proposed by
Potapov & Gao (2012)
. They are more similar to
F. stella
sensu Fjellberg
by having few chaetae on manubrium but differ from two forms of this species known in Northern Europe (
Fjellberg, 2007
). The specimens from Buryatia are large, have 3+3 anterior chaetae on manubrium, 3–5+3–5 chaetae on ventrum of Th.III, more than 2 sensilla on Ant.I, up to 12+12 laterodistal chaetae on VT, and a conically pointed abdominal tip in epitoke males.
Distribution and ecology
. Known from two localities: Khamar Daban Range and Vitim Plateau (

: loc. 1, 9). In the former it was abundant under looser bark.
