Abstract
The genus Oligaphorura Bagnall, 1949 currently comprises 56 species restricted in distribution to the Holarctic Region (Bellinger et al. 2019). Till now, only six of them have previously been recorded from Nearctic. The current paper presents the description of one new onychiurid species from Alaska.
