The growing interest in Antarctic collembolan species has led us to re-evaluate both the morphological and molecular aspects of different species adapted to the extreme Antarctic environment. The genus Folsomotoma includes nine species mainly distributed in Antarctic and subantarctic areas and a few additionally from Australia and South America. We herein designate the neotype of Folsomotoma octooculata (Willem 1901) and redescribe its morphological characters with particular emphasis on the sensory and ordinary chaetotaxy. Furthermore, based on analyses of both our new and previously published morphological data for F. octooculata, we propose a systematic key of the species for the genus.
对南极弹尾虫物种日益增长的兴趣促使我们重新评估适应极端南极环境的不同物种的形态学和分子学方面。福氏弹尾虫属包括9个物种，主要分布在南极和亚南极地区，另外还有一些来自澳大利亚和南美洲。我们在此指定八眼福氏弹尾虫（Folsomotoma octooculata，Willem 1901）的新模式标本，并重新描述其形态特征，特别强调感觉毛序和普通毛序。此外，基于我们新获得的以及之前已发表的八眼福氏弹尾虫形态学数据的分析，我们提出了该属物种的系统检索表。
