Abstract

Samples of thysanurans (orders Microcoryphia and Zygentoma) collected in the Azores were studied. The known distributions in the archipelago of Parapetrobius azoricus, Dilta saxicola, Lepisma saccharina and Ctenolepisma longicaudata are substantially enlarged. Machilinus cf. rupestris gallicus as well as the genus Machilinus and the family Meinertellidae are reported for the first time in the Azores. Trigoniophthalmus borgesi sp.n. (Microcoryphia: Machilidae), is described from the laurisilva forest of the Terceira island.
