INTRODUCTION The first species of Protura was described hundred years ago by the eminent Italian entomolo- gist, SILVESTRI (1907). In this publication SILVESTRI not only described a new genus and new spe- cies, but also established the new order of apterygote insects and named it “Protura”. Two years latter the first monograph of that group was published by the other Italian zoologist, BERLESE (1909). This monograph contains descriptions of the 3 genera and 11 species as well as many impor- tant data about the morphology of the group. In the course of the hundred years studies, Protura were discovered in the whole world, with the exception of polar regions and nival zones of mountains. The most important lists of the world spe- cies were published by TUXEN (1931b), MILLS (1933), ROSAS COSTA (1950), PACLT (1955) and TUXEN (1964).The last monograph, based on the revision of type materials, contains data on ap- proximately 148 species and 16 genera. Since 1964, many papers dealing with Protura of various regions were published. Among them the most important are the regional monographs concerning Europe (NOSEK 1973), Japan (IMA- DATÉ 1974), New Zealand (TUXEN 1986) and China (YIN 1999). However, there were no syntheti- cal papers concerning the whole world. The present catalogue provides a summary of knowledge of Protura to the first half of the year 2006. It contains a list of available names for about 72 genera and 748 species of Protura occurring in the world, with correct publication dates, verified references to primary descriptions and infor- mative distributions of the species and subspecies. Only the publications containing taxonomical or faunistical data are taken into consideration. Other papers devoted to general problems (anatomy, ultrastructure etc.) are quoted only in the case when contain information important for systematic problems, or new faunistic reports.. The papers dealing with Protura as group (with no data concern- ing individual species) are omitted. The information about the geographic area are given only for the papers based on original records. Other contributions, such as local catalogues, checklists or keys based on published records are quoted in the text with no geographical data. The distribution is given according to the present knowledge of the group. Although the existing data are commonly more or less dubious, I was not able to check most of them. A localization of the type material is given according to the existing bibliography but only a part of the data was checked. List of the institutions preserving the type materials of Protura (and abbreviation used in the text) is given below. I am adopting herein a view that Protura form a separate class in the superclass Hexapoda. The system used here is that of YIN (1999) with some modifications concerning the order Acerentomata. Four families of Yin (Berberentulidae, Acerentomidae, Nipponentomidae and Acerellidae) are in- corporated to the one family, Acerentomidae (after François 2003). This family is divided into four subfamilies: Berberentulinae, Acerentominae, Nipponentominae and Acerellinae. The group of genera distinguished by Yin as subfamily Acerentulinae (with the exception of the genus Fjellber- gella ) is included to the subfamily Berberentulinae. I realize that the present knowledge of Protura does not allow to create a good, phylogeneticaly justified system of the group. The system proposed here is very imperfect and it should be changed and improved in the future. Acknowledgements.Thepreparing of the present catalogue would not be possible without assistance of many persons. I owe my many sincere thanks to the authors who send me their papers concerning Protura, especially to J. ALDABA,E.C.BERNARD,B.CONDÉ,M.C. CVIJOVIÆ, R. DALLAI,J.FRANÇOIS,G.IMADATÉ,O.NAKAMURA,J.NOSEK,J.RUSEK,C.TORTI, S. L. TUXEN,W.Y.YIN and many others. I am very grateful to prof. dr W. M. WEINER,drM. STERZYÑSKA, dr Y. BU and others for their help in the collecting the older papers about Protura. Dr Z. STEBNICKA helped me many times with the problems connected with nomenclature and hardly worked as the editor of the present work. Miss M. BIENIEK helped me with the technical preparing of the manuscript. The work on this catalogue and its publication was possible thanks to the Grant No 2PO4C 009 27 of the State Committee for Scientific Researches in Poland. The catalogue is dedicated to the memory of my late Masters, prof. dr Bruno CONDÉ, dr Gentaro IMADATÉ, dr Josef NOSEK and dr Søren Ludvig TUXEN. 6 II.
