Abstract Four new species of Pseudachorutes from Ukraine are described and illustrated: P. vitalii sp. nov., P. scythicus sp. nov., P. vasylii sp. nov. and P. janstachi sp. nov. These new species differ in the body size, in the details of body chaetotaxy, in the number of vesicles of PAO, in the shape of mandibles, in the chaetotaxy of labrum and labium. The following species are redescribed on the basis of Ukrainian material: Pseudachorutes pratensis Rusek, 1973, Pseudachorutes palmiensis Börner, 1903, Pseudachorutes parvulus Börner, 1901, Pseudachorutes subcrassus Tullberg, 1871, Pseudachorutes dubius Krausbauer, 1898 and Pseudachorutes corticicolus (Schäffer, 1896). A key to the Ukrainian Pseudachorutes species are given, too. Key words: taxonomy, P. vitalii sp. nov., P. scythicus sp. nov., P. vasylii sp. nov., P. janstachi sp. nov., identification key, chaetotaxy
Introduction The genus Pseudachorutes Tullberg, 1871 contains presently 107 species world wide (Bellinger et al. 2008). This genus is characterized by the following diagnostic characters: buccal cone extended, mandibles with two or several teeth, maxilla often styliform with two lamellae, ocelli 8+8, PAO present, empodial appendage absent, furca well developed, anal spines absent (Stach 1949, Massoud 1967). The results of studies on Collembola in Ukraine for 150 years were summarized in “Catalogue of the Collembola and Protura of Ukraine” (Kaprus’ et al. 2006). Only six Pseudachorutes species, P. dubius Krausbauer, 1898, P. corticicolus (Schäffer, 1896), P. laricis Arbea & Jordana, 1989, P. parvulus Börner, 1901, P. palmiensis Börner, 1903 and P. subcrassus Tullberg, 1871, were collected on the country. A recent taxonomical study of Pseudachorutini recently collected in the Ukraine revealed four new species described here and one additional species record for the Ukraine. The presence of P. laricis was not confirmed. In the present paper we give modern redescriptions of P. dubius, P. corticicolus, P. parvulus, P. palmiensis, P. subcrassus and Pseudachorutes pratensis Rusek, 1973 based on Ukrainian material. The type material of five first mentioned species has been lost (we have no information about this material). Recent descriptions of these species were published by Fjellberg (1998) from Fennoscandia and Jordana et al. (1997) from Spain. However, some morphological information was absent in these descriptions. The Scandinavian material of P. dubius, P. corticicolus, P. parvulus, P. subcrassus and Spanish material of P. palmiensis is considered to be conspecific with studied specimens from Ukraine. In the present paper descriptions of all Pseudachorutes species from Ukraine and a comparison of differentiating characters (Table 1) are given.

Biology. The species has been collected only in xerophytic habitats. It is probably connected with steppe communities of southeastern Europe. Bisexual. Discussion. The new species is related to Pseudachorutes sibiricus Rusek, 1991 and Pseudachorutes plurichaetosus Arbea & Jordana, 1991. These three species have the same number of setae on Th. I (4+4 setae) and on dens (6 setae), the same type of apical bulb (trilobed), mucro (with long and broad lateral lamella) and claw (with strong inner teeth and without lateral ones). The chaetotaxy of P. scythicus sp. nov. and P. sibiricus is similar, but variable in P. sibiricus (A. Babenko pers. comm.). These two species differ in the number of postantennal vesicles (10–12 in P. scythicus and 19 in P. sibiricus), in the shape of mandible (with subapical tooth in the new species and without this tooth in P. sibiricus). In P. scythicus Ant. IV has short and thick sensilla (6), whereas P. sibiricus has long, slim ones (also 6). In the other hand they occupy different habitats. Pseudachorutes sibiricus is known from moist habitats in taiga forest with mosses,. On the contrary, P. scythicus lives in soil of the dry steppe plant communities. Pseudachorutes plurichaetosus differs from these two species by the absence of a0 setae on head, a5 and m4 setae on Th. II and III, m4 setae on Abd. I-III and by the chaetotaxy of plurochaetotic type on Abd. IV and V. It has labium with 1+1 small organites x between A, B, C and D setae. This morphological structure is absent in P. sibiricus and P. scythicus.
Pseudachorutes vitalii sp. nov. Figs 11–21, 84 Description. Body length without antennae 1.70–2.10 mm. Colour bluish-grey (on slides), ocular plate bluish-black. Tegumental granulation coarse, dense and uniform. Antennae approximately as long as the head. Ant. I with 7 setae, Ant. II with 11 setae and Ant. III with 20 ordinary setae. Ant. III and IV fused dorsally, ventral separation well marked. Sensory organ of Ant. III consisting of two small, oval sensilla, two subcylindrical guard sensilla (ventral sensillum as long as dorsal one) and two guard setae between them; ventral microsensillum present. Ant. IV with about 40 ordinary setae, 9–10 modified setae in ventro-apical part and 6 distinct subcylindrical sensilla; dorsoexternal microsensillum and subapical organite present; apical vesicle trilobed (Figs 12–13). PAO oval with 17–22 vesicles, 1.5–1.9 times larger than ocellus B (Fig. 15). 8+8 eyes. Buccal cone short.

They differ in the labral formula: 2/3,3,4 in P. vasylii sp. nov. and 2/2,3,3,4 in P. laricis (R. Jordana pers. comm.), in the number of postantennal vesicles (4–6 in the new species and 7–9 in P. laricis) and the presence of small tooth on the inner edge of claw in the new species (absent in P. laricis). The labium in P. vasylii has additional morphological structures: 2+2 small organites x and small papillate setae L which are absent in P. laricis.

Besides, P. janstachi and P. parvulus possess the 2+2 small organites x and papilate seta s on the labium, while P. coriticicolus lacks these structures. These three species differ also in the shape of mandible. In P. janstachi mandible has three teeth, the tooth in the angle of mandible small. The mandible in P. parvulus has four teeth: the subapical tooth is quite large and the tooth in the angle of mandible is minute, whereas P. corticicolus has also four teeth, but both inner teeth are large. The new species and P. corticicolus have setae m5 on the terga of Th. II and III, while in P. parvulus this seta is absent. Setae m4 are absent on the Abd. I–III in the new species and in P. parvulus; P. corticicolus has these setae.

Kaprus’; 2 females (on slide), Ukraine, L’viv district, near Zolochiv town, Hologory Hills, Pinus forest, moss, 7.XII.1991, leg. I. Kaprus’. Biology. Pseudachorutes corticicolus lives in the forest habitats and xerothermic meadows. Bisexual corticolous species. Remarks. Pseudachorutes corticicolus belongs to the species group of Pseudachorutes without organites x and papillate seta L on labium, with one clavate tenent hair on tibiotarsi, with unpaired seta d1 on the head, and with 12+12 setae on Th. II (a2 and a5 setae present). Morphological characters of the Ukrainian specimens of this species fit the recent description of this species from Fennoscandia and Denmark which was published by Fjellberg (1998). Pseudachorutes corticicolus is closest to Pseudachorutes columbicus Rusek, 1991 from Canada and Pseudachorutes janstachi sp. nov. It differ from P. columbicus in the absence a0 seta on head and the presence 3+3 setae on Th. I (a0 present, 4+4 setae in P. columbicus), in the presence 9 setae on labrum (10 setae in P. columbicus) and shape of mandible (with four teeth in P. corticicolus and three teeth in P. columbicus). Differences between P. corticicolus and P. janstachi are given above. Specimens of P. corticicolus described by Jordana et al. (1997) from Spain belong to another species, maybe new to science. It differ from Ukrainian and Scandinavian material by the absence of a5 setae on Th. V, m4 setae on Abd. I–III and a2 setae on Abd. V and by the presence of lateral teeth on the claw.

The species has been collected in xerophytic habitats. It is probably restricted to steppe communities of South-East Europe. Bisexual. Remarks. Pseudachorutes pratensis was described by Rusek (1973) on the base of some specimens from the Central Moravia in Czech Republic. Later, Smolis and Twardowski (2006) supplemented description of this species on the base of Polish material. This species is characterized by the paired d1 setae on the head, the absence of setae B on labium and setae a2 on Th. II. Morphological characters of the Ukrainian specimens fit the original description, however there are some differences that extend the range of variability of this species (J. Rusek pers. comm.). Pseudachorutes pratensis is close to P. libanensis (Cassagnau & Delamare, 1955) sensu Ellis 1976 from Lebanon and Crete. These two species have similar type of body chaetotaxy (3+3 setae on Th. I, absence setae a2 on Th. II), the small PAO and furca with 6+6 setae on the dens. P. pratensis differs from P. libanensis in the absence of setae B and papillate setae L on labium, the shape of mandible (two teeth in P. pratensis, three teeth in P. libanensis) and also in the structure of the mucro (typical for the genus in P. pratensis, crooked in P. libanensis).
