Abstract

Forty-one species of Geophilomorpha belonging to 17 genera from 6 families are recorded from European Russia. Dicellophilus carniolensis (Koch, 1847) of the family Mecistocephalidae is recorded from the fauna of Russia for the first time. The data of original description, type localities, and the general and local distribution are given for all the species, together with some taxonomic comments. The history of the studies of Geophilomorpha in the region is considered.
