On the three species of the genus Acherontides Bon. (Collembola) from the Afghanistan caves and thre relationship of this genus with some other similar genera
Abstract:
In August 1958 I received from Dr. K. Lindberg (Lund, Sweden) the materials of Collembola caught by him in Afghanistan, at most part in the caves of this country, with the proposal to determine of them. As Dr. Lindberg wanted to represent the results of his studies in Afghanistan already in October on the II International Speleological Congress in Bari (Italy). I examined the cavernicolous specimens at once, found among them two already known and 14 new species, shortly diagnosed all them provisionally, and sent the results of this examination in September 1958 to Dr. Lindberg in the form of a note „Collembola of the Afghanistan caves collected by Dr. K. Lindberg“. STRESZCZENIE. Autor opisuje szczegółowo trzy gatunki z rodzaju Acherontides Bon. znalezione przez Dra K. Lindberga w jaskiniach Afganistanu. W związku z tym rozpatruje znamiona blisko spokrewnionego rodzaju Acherontiella Abs., pozbawionego podobnie jak Acherontides Bon. narządu pozaczułkowego, a także pokrewnych, nieco dalej stojących w systemie Mesachorutes Abs. i Mesogastrura Bon., których gatunki nie posiadają narządu pozaczułkowego.
