Abstract

Baculentulus pomorskii sp. nov. and B. potapovi sp. nov. are described from the Russian Far East. Baculentulus pomorskii sp. nov. is characterized by presence of an additional seta on the head and seta P1a on tergites I–VII, very long foretarsal sensillum a, sensillum b shorter than c and d, long sensillum e and slender sensillum a’. Berberentulus potapovi sp. nov. is characterized by absence of any additional setae on the head, presence of seta P1a on tergites I–VII, number of A-setae on the tergites, and a unique seta-complex on male squama genitalis.
