Abstract

The paper considers blind species of the genusFolsomiahaving two pairs of macrosetae on both meso- and metathorax and united in so-called ‘inoculata’ group, which is given a new, more laconic definition. Morphological characters important in the group’s taxonomy are discussed and a further division into four subgroups is proposed. Eight new species, i.e.,F.amuricaPotapov & Kuznetsova,sp. n.,F.brevisetaPotapov & Kuznetsova,sp. n.,F.calcareaPotapov,sp. n.,F.imparisPotapov & Hasegawa,sp. n.,F.laconicaPotapov & Kuznetsova,sp. n.,F.tertiaPotapov,sp. n.,F.trisensillaPotapov,sp. n., andF.tubulataPotapov & Babenko,sp. n., are described.F.hidakanaUchida & Tamura andF.inoculataStach are redescribed basing on new material, for the latter species the Stach’s individuals were also examined. A key to species of the group is given.
