“Since systematics of the majority of soil invertebrate taxa is still underdeveloped any judgement on the regularities of their distribution should be done with extreme caution. … Onychiurus armatus was recorded for many areas of the tundra zone as the only representative of the family Onychiuridae. However, later, O. armatus was divided into several species. Taking this view on the genus system into account S.I. Ananjeva (1973) failed to find the typical O. armatus on Western Taimyr.”

Abstract
Seven species of the genus Protaphorura Absolon, 1901 from the Eastern Palaearctic, viz. P. taimyrica (Martynova, 1976), P. tundricola (Martynova, 1976), P. subarctica (Martynova, 1976), P. pjasinae (Martynova, 1976), P. tschernovi (Martynova, 1976), P. borealis (Martynova, 1973), and P. cf. microcellata (Dunger, 1978), have been redescribed. The original descriptions of the majority of these species were based on Yu.I. Chernov’s material collected on Western Taimyr in the environs of the legendary “Tareya” field station. The type material and/or new collection in the environs of the type-localities were used for redescriptions. The identification key to the above species and maps of their distribution in the Palaearctic are given.
