Introduction
Studies of Collembola in Israel were carried out for nearly 100 years. During the last decade this work
has been intensified especially in the Mount Carmel (lower Nahal Oren). Recently, more than 60 species of
springtails were recorded, of them 10 new species and subspecies have been described. Detailed information
on the history of Collembola studies in Israel can be found in a series of special works (Gruia, 1995; Gruia
at ai, 1999, 2000).
As a result of our studies in 1999–2000 in the “Evolution Canyon” (Mount Carmel), 55 species of
springtails have been recorded; four of them are new (two species are described below).
Material and methods
The description of natural conditions of the observed area was considered by E. Nevo (1995).
The soil samples (litter and upper layer of soil 5 cm deep) were taken by metal auger and extracted for
five days in a modified Tulgren’s apparatus. Material was fixed in 80% ethanol. The springtails were then
placed into Fore’s solution and identified. Nomenclature of Willemia antennal sensilla chaetotaxy follows
J. I. Arbea and R. Jordana (1986).
The holotypes and paratypes of the new species are deposited in the collection of the State Museum of
Natural History of NASU, L’viv, Ukraine (SMNH).

dominal tergites I, II, III with a2 setae and without m3 and m5. Setae p2 on Abd V
absent. Antennal segment IV with four flamelike sensilla (e1, e2, e3, i2); sensillum d is
thickened and short.
De s c r i p t i o n. Body length 0.51–0.65 mm. Tegumental granulation is fine and
uniform. Antennal segment IV with four flamelike sensilla (e1, e2, e3, i2) (fig. 1, c).
Sensillum d is thickened and short, sensillum i1 more slender than others. Lateral sen-
silla of antenna III organ are about as long as the nearest ordinary setae and placed in
a rather great distance one from another (fig. 1, c). Antennal segments I, II with 7 and
12 setae respectively. Circular postantennal organ with 6–8 lobes (fig. 1, e). Labrum
with 4/4,5, 4 setae.
Dorsal chaetotaxy as in figure 1, a. Seta a0 and c1 present on the head. Thoracic
segments II, III have complete set of setae: 6 a-setae (a4 present), 4 m-setae and 6 p-se-
tae. Tergite of th. II with lateral microsensilla and lanceolate sensillum m6. Sensory seta
m6 on the thoracic tergum III is lanceolate too. Sensilla p4 on the thoracic tergites II,
III are thin and short. Shape of thoracal and abdominal sensilla as in figure 1, f.
Abdominal tergites I, II, III with a2 setae and without m3 and m5. The m-row setae
on abdomen IV absent; row a with a1, a2, a4, a5 setae and row p with p1, p2, p3, p4,
p5; sensillum p4 is thin and long. Abdominal tergite V without seta p2 and with a2 seta.
Ventral chaetotaxy as in figure 1, b. Generally, in the central part of abdominal
sternite IV there are 13+13 setae. Each of anal lobes with 17 setae, including setae z
and 3 hr. Seta e absent. Ventral tube with 4+4 setae.
Claw without teeth (fig. 1, d). Empodial appendage is of about 0.29 the length of
the inner adge of the claw. Tibiotarsi I, II, III with 17, 17, 16 setae. Anal spines very
small, as long as 0.30 of the claw. Males present.
A f f i n i t i e s. Willemia tali sp. n. belongs to the “anophthalma” group and fits near
Willemia virae Kaprus, 1997, described from a cave in Ukraine. These species share the
following characters: absence of m-row setae on abdominal tergites IV, m3 and m5
setae on abdominal segments I, II, III and p2 seta on abd. V, same chaetotaxy of the
head. The new species is readily separated from it by presence of a4 seta on thoracal
segments, the shape of sensilla of body and sensillum d on antennal segment IV, reduce
ventral chaetotaxy of abd. IV and anal valves.
E t ymo l o g y. The new species is named in memory of Professor Nevo’s son, Tal.

Tibiotarsi I, II, III with 12, 12, 11 setae respectively. Clow without inner tooth,
empodial appendage is very small (fig. 2, g).
A f f i n i t i e s. W. Weiner (1999), described very small Neanuridae found in soil
overgrown with grasses between fig trees in Crete as a new genus Minotaurella with type
species M. isabellae. This genus has a mixture of characteristics from Anurida, Lanzho-
tia, Micranurida and Rusekella. One more species M. banyulensis (Denis, 1947), which
was described from southern France earlier has been included to Minotaurella as well.
The new species differs from M. isabellae in smaller body size, number of vesicles
in the postantennal organ (13–15 in M. isabelle and 11–12 in the new species), shape
of sensory setae on the abdominal segments, number of setae on the tibiotarsi I, II, III (13,
13, 12 in M. isabellae and 12, 12, 11 in the new species) and anal lobes (14 in M. isabel-
lae and 12 in the new species). The new species differs from M. banyulensis by the shape

Ma t e r i a l. 2 }, Israel, Mount Carmel, Lower Nahal Oren, S slope, open area with perennials,
29.11.1999 (Pavlicek) (SMNH).
De s c r i p t i o n. Body length 0.70–0.84 mm. Color with diffuse greyish pigment.

long and slender. Lower pair of macrosensilla on Abd. V distinctly thicker than upper
pair. SA (subaxial) macrochaetae on Abd. IV about 0.26 as long as tergite, on Abd. V —
0.50 as long.
Tibiotarsi I, II, III with 20, 20, 22 setae. Retinaculum 3/1. Furca strong, dens with
2 posterior setae, without anterior one (2/0). Mucro lookes separated from dens.

claw. Ventral chaetotaxy of abd. IV–VI as in figure 3, e.
R ema r k s. F. marchicus was originally described from western Poland, but the
type material is lost. A. Fjellberg (1993) prposed new morphological criteria for sepa-
ration Folsomides species, but the status of this species remained obscure. F. marchicus
needs to be recollected again from its type locality and redescribed.
M. Potapov (2001) has recently redescribed this species from “northern” speci-
mens collected in Germany and western Ukraine, not far from its type locality. The
specimens from Mt. Carmel described above are similar to the material from Europe.
