Remark by Janssens, F. 2021.02.12: According to the etymology the species is named after Olga Makarova meaning "is named in honour of Olga Makarova". However, the new name refers to the "Psyllaphorura, the Olga" not to the "Psyllaphorura (in honour) of Olga". This mismatch is clear evidence of an inadvertent error that must be corrected (Art.32.5.1). The name 'olgae' is in line with the etymology.

After Weiner WM & Najt J, 2000 Fig.1
Remark by Janssens, F. 2021.01.24: According to the etymology, the new name is dedicated to Professor Ryozo Yoshii. However the name refers to 'Psyllaphorura, Ryozo Yoshii'. It is clear that it was the intention of the authors to reflect in the new name the dedication to Professor Ryozo Yoshii as in the 'Psyllaphorura (in honour) of Ryozo Yoshii'. The mismatch between the name and the intention of the authors is clear evidence of an inadvertent error that must be corrected (Art.32.5.1). Therefore we propose the following emendation of the name that matches the intention of the authors: 'ryozoyoshiii' = name of author appended with the latin genitive case suffix 'i'.

Remark by Janssens, F. 2024.07.27: The etymology refers to decaying wood as habitat of the new species. It is clear that the authors wanted the new name to refer to the 'Oligaphorura of the decayed wood (in general sense)'. However the new name 'ligni' does not match the etymology given it refers to the 'Oligaphorura of a single (hence particular) wood' ('ligni' = the genetive case singular form of 'lignum'), not to the 'Oligaphorura of the decaying wood (in general sense)' as intended. This mismatch is clear evidence of an inadvertent error that must be corrected (Art.32.5.1). In analogy with 'stalagmitorum' ('of the stalagmites'), or 'muscorum' ('of the mosses'), the name 'lignorum' refers to 'of the wood (in general sense plural form)' in line with the etymology.

             Syn.: Protaphorura duodecimpunctatus(sic) Bowser, M, 2008:il ISS
Remark by Janssens, F. 2008.08.15: Given the description of 'decimpunctatus Skidmore, 1995:53' is lacking it is a nomen nudum, therefore an invalid name. The name implicitly refers to specimens of duodecimpunctatus having 5 pseudocelli at the antennal base in steadt of the 6 pseudocelli of the nominal form. Such specimens are considered to be an intraspecific variation of duodecimpunctatus. Therefore, 'decimpunctatus Skidmore, 1995:53' is a partial junior synonym of duodecimpunctatus Folsom, 1919:6A.

Remark by Janssens, F. 2023.10.13: According to the etymology the species is "cordially dedicated to our colleague Prof. Yong-Jung Kwon". However, "kwona" refers to an adjective derived from the word/stem 'kwon' not to a person called 'Kwon'. This meaning does not match the etymology. This mismatch is clear evidence of an inadvertent error that must be corrected (Art.32.5.1). "kwonae" refers to the "Protaphorura (in honour of) the female person called 'Kwon'" in line with the etymology.

Remark by Linnæus, C. 1758:609: [Podura] ambulans. 10. P. alba, furca extensa. Fn. suec. 1170. Habitat in Europa.' [Note that, while the diagnosis is in conflict with that of the refered species 1170 of the first edition of the Fauna Suecica (1746), Linnaeus, paradoxically, refers to the correct furca lacking onychiurid species.]

            Syn.: Pediculus terrestris niveus Linnæus, C, 1746:341
Remark by Linnæus, C. 1746:341 cited from Bellinger, P.F., 1997:(in litt.): 1170. Pediculus terrestris niveus. Habitat in terra subhumente calida, proinfrequens in terra prægnante et allis in hypocerusto per totem hyemem(sic). Descr. Fascies omnino Poduræ, teres oblongus albus, sed furca carens.

After Lubbock J, 1873 Pl.43 Fig.2
Remark by Lubbock, J. 1873:5: Podura ambulans de Geer, 1782 does neither answer to the description of Linnæus (1761) nor to that of von Linné (1767), but appears to be Lipura ambulans Lubbock, 1873:189. 'It does not seem to have been noticed by any writer that Lipura ambulans is mentioned in the first edition of the "Faun. Suec.," though not among the Poduræ, being described as a Pediculus, although Linnæus adds "facies omnino Poduræ."'

Remark by Lubbock, J. 1873:7,190,213: Podura ambulans von Linné (1767) =? Campodea staphylinus. The Podura ambulans of Linnæus, both of, 1761 and, 1767 is described as having long caudal appendages. Campodea staphylinus Westwood, 1842 appears to be the species described by Linnæus under the name Podura ambulans in the "Systema Naturæ," ed. xii, [1767], though it is not the Podura ambulans of the Fauna Suecica [first ed. of, 1746].

Remark by Stach, J. 1954:60,157: Onychiurus ambulans Stach, 1954:60,157 is based on Anurophorus ambulans Nicolet, 1847:384, while reference is made to the redescription of Stach (1934). Lipura ambulans Burmeister, 1838 is listed as doubthfull synonym.

Remark by ICZN. 1958:25 cited from Salmon, 1964:89,176,178: Podura (Onychiurus) ambulans has been placed on the Official List of Specific Names as proposed by Gisin, Opinion 291 (1954:104).

Remark by Gisin, H. 1960:148: Refers to Stach (1934:174) and (1954:157) for Onychiurus (Onychiurus) ambulans, while doubthing the synonymy with Podura ambulans Linnæus, 1758:609.

Onychiurus ambulans from the UK
2002 © Hopkin, S.P.
Remark by Fjellberg, A. 2004.10.04(in litt.): A new neotype should be designated for Podura ambulans, as Pomorski's selection of a neotype from a German cave does not meet the "qualifying conditions" for such actions set by the ICZN (neotypes should be selected from material as nearly as practicable possible from the original type locality - which is Sweden).

Remark by Dányi, L. & Traser, G. 2008:23: All data published before description of Onychiurus circulans Gisin, 1952 are dubious.

Remark by Arbea, J. 2012:34: Fjellberg (1998) did not include O. ambulans in his Fennoscandian catalogue and, perhaps, it might well be the same as his northern O. circulans. All records are dubious until redescriptions of O. ambulans and O. circulans will be made.

Remark by Arbea, J. 2012:44: Both O. circulans and O. ambulans sensu Pomorski, 1998 key out together [suggesting being synonymous].

Remark by Janssens, F. 2021.09.26: Given the species was neither described in this nor in any other previously published work, the name does not meet the requirements of Art.13.1 of the Code for availability. Therefore the publication of the name in this catalogue is a nomen nudum. In addition the attribution to the original authority is incorrect.


Species ariegicus Deharveng, 1978

Remark by Arbea, J. 2012:34: A redescription of the species would probably result in its reallocation to another Onychiurini genus.

Species boldorii Denis, 1937

Species circulans Gisin, 1952, B

Remark by Dányi, L. & Traser, G. 2008:23: According to Pomorsky(sic) (1998) Onychiurus circulans is a junior synonym of Onychiurus ambulans (Linnaeus), but in our opinion it is a valid, separate taxon.

Remark by Arbea, J. 2012:34: A redescription of the type material would be needed.

Remark by Arbea, J. 2012:34: The populations of Madeira island might represent a closely related species (Gisin, 1958, Gama, 1961).

After Babenko A & Fjellberg A, 2016 Fig.10.2
Remark by Janssens, F. 2021.02.13: According to the etymology the specific adjective is grammatically based on 'fraterculus'. However, the new name 'fraterculi' is not a grammatically based adjective of 'fraterculus' as intended by the authors. This mismatch is clear evidence of an inadvertent error that must be corrected (Art.32.5.1). In nomenclature, Latin adjectives take the declension -us, -a, -um and must agree in gender, number and case with the noun they modify. Given the stem "fratercul-", "fraterculus" is the adjective form agreeing with "Onychiurus" and in line with the etymology.

Remark by Pomorski et al. 2009:1049: O. wilchi will key out as steinmanni, but the collection sites make it improbable that they are the same species.
Remark by Pomorski et al. 2009:?: O. wilchi almost certainly belongs in this genus, but the type specimens are in such poor condition and Wray's description is clearly erroneous in some respects and inadequate in others such that certain placement will have to await further material study.

Remark by Fjellberg, A. 2004.10.04:in litt.: But until a neotype for "inermis" is designated, there is no published evidence that "cebennaria" is a junior synonym and according to ICZN rulings, until the appropriate actions are taken, "cebennaria" should be used in taxonomic publications.

Remark by Dányi, L. & Traser, G. 2008:21: Deuteraphorura fimetaria (Linnaeus, 1766) is a "species inquirenda according to Gisin (1960)". [Janssens, F., 2008.11.15. Contrary to what Dányi & Traser (2008:21) claim, Gisin (1960:140) refers to "fimetarius" sensu Denis (1938), not to fimetaria von Linné, 1767. The latter is considered as a species dubia by Gisin (1960:151)].
