541287D01974FFF726AAFAC0961CB5D9.taxon	description	Description. Body length: 1.2 – 1.7 mm. Color: blue. Ocelli 3 + 3, pigmented, subequal. All dorsal tubercles well developed. No cryptopygy. Three kinds of ordinary chaetae: thick subcylindrical, feebly scaled, narrowly sheathed, rounded apically, long and short macrochaetae (Fig. 2 – 4); thin, acuminate, smooth, long to rather short mesochaetae on the lateral tubercles, ventrally and on appendages (Fig. 5); very short, acuminate microchaetae An on Abd VI (Fig. 6). Four kinds of s-chaetae: long but shorter than nearest macrochaetae on Th II-Abd V tergites (Fig. 7); thick, rather long, bent on Ant IV (S 1 to S 8, Fig. 8) and Ant III organite (S 2 and S 4, Fig. 5); short on Ant III (S 3 and S 4); very short on Ant III (S 1) and on DL of Th II (Fig. 9). Head chaetotaxy and tubercles. S-chaetae of Ant IV of medium length, thick, bent, subequal; apical vesicle trilobed. Ant I with 8 chaetae, Ant II with 11 chaetae (Figs 10 – 11). Ant III with Sgd half as long as Sgv. Buccal cone moderately elongate; labrum apically rounded; labium with four basal (E, F, f, G), three distal (A, C, D, with C longer than A and D) and at least three lateral chaetae (c, d, e) (Fig. 12). Maxilla styliform, mandible thin, tridentate. Twelve tubercles on head, CL, Af, Oc, Di, De, So and DL fused to L (Fig. 13). Tubercle AF with E on the edge, not free (Fig. 14). Arrangement of the tubercles of the lateral area stable, almost identical to that of N. muscorum (Fig. 15). Chaetotaxy of head not reduced (Fig. 1, Tab. 1). Cephalic chaetotaxy * x extremely minute or indistinct Body and appendages chaetotaxy and tubercles. Postcephalic chaetotaxy as in Figs 1, 16 and in Tab. 1. No free chaetae on head and tergites (in particular Di 2 and Di 3 included in tubercles Di on tergites). On Th II – III, Di 3 is present as a short macrochaeta. On Abd V, Di tubercles not fused axially even in juvenile specimens, Di 3 is absent and Di 2 is a short macrochaeta, about 3 – 5 times shorter than Di 1. No modified ventral chaetae in the male. Chaeta M present on tibiotarsus. Claw untoothed. Discussion. N. moldavica is very similar to N. muscorum in most chaetotaxic characters. It differs from it by the absence of chaeta Di 3 on Abd V, the position of chaeta E on the edge of tubercle Af (free in N. muscorum) and the additional chaeta of Ant I more lateral than in N. muscorum (Figs 10 – 11). Males were present in N. moldavica, while specimens of N. muscorum from Moldova that we examined were females, as in most (all?) populations of central Europe. N. pseudoparva Rusek, 1963 is also very similar to the new species and was collected in Ukraine (Carpathians and Crimea). According to the original description, it differs from N. moldavica by a different arrangement of the dorso-internal tubercles and chaetae of Abd V: the tubercles Di are fused on the axis (separate in N. moldavica) and the chaeta Di 3 is present (absent in N. moldavica). N. moldavica was abundant in the samples examined from Moldova, while N. muscorum and N. minuta were rare.	en	Buşmachiu, Galina, Deharveng, Louis (2008): Neanurinae and Morulininae of Moldova (Collembola: Neanuridae), with description of Neanura moldavica sp. nov.
