It includes 167 collembolan species belonging to 78 genera and 5(1):22–33. 17 families including 45 endemic species. Majority of the Nepalese collembolan species were reported from major trekking routes viz. https://doi.org/10.3126/njz.v5i1.38287 Mount Everest, Annapurna Conservation Area and Langtang area with very few other locations.

Oceanic island biota generally present high percentages of endemic species, and the vulnerability of these species is higher than those of the continents. The objective of this work was to carry out a survey of the Collembola species of the order Poduromorpha in the Brazilian oceanic islands and synthesize a distribution list of this order for Brazil. Our results reveal four new species of Collembola Poduromorpha for Brazilian oceanic islands that may be useful for the conservation strategies of these island regions and a contributor to the knowledge of the order in Brazil.

ZooKeys 819: 187–195.https://doi. org/10.3897/zookeys.819.23653 Abstract The state of knowledge of diversity of Collembola in Canada was assessed by examination of literature and DNA barcode data. There are 474 described extant Collembola species known from Canada, a significant change compared to the 520 species estimated to occur in Canada in 1979 (Richards 1979) and the 341 reported in the most recent national checklist (Skidmore 1993). Given the number of indeterminate or cryptic species records, the dearth of sampling in many regions, and the growing use of genetic biodiversity assessment methods such as Barcode Index Numbers, we estimate the total diversity of Collembola in Canada to be approximately 675 species. Advances in Collembola systematics and Canadian research are discussed. Keywords biodiversity assessment, Biota of Canada, Collembola, springtails Collembola, commonly known as springtails, is a class of small, entognathous, wing- less hexapods that is a sister group to Insecta.

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

  • Second Contribution to the Knowledge of the Springtail Fauna of the White Mountains (Lefká Óri) in West Crete (Insecta: Collembola)
    Mitt. internat. entomol. Ver. Frankfurt a.M. ISSN 1019-2808 Band 32 . Heft 3/4 Seiten 175 - 183 22. November 2007 Second contribution to the knowledge of the springtail fauna of the White Mountains (Lefká Óri) in West Crete (Insecta: Collembola) Hans-Jürgen SCHULZ Abstract: This paper describes the results of Collembola collecting in more than 30 sites of the White Mountains. The collections are mostly based on moss and upper soil-layer samples. Besides widespread species, some rare species were found (e.g. Anurophorus coiffaiti and Crypto- pygus triglenus). 12 species are new for Crete. Key words: Collembola, species list, mountain region, Crete Introduction The “Species list of the fauna Europaea” lists 76 springtail species or subspecies for the island Crete (last update March 2005, http:// faunaeur.org/species_list.php). These data are mainly based on ELLIS (1976). He collected within the Iráklion region (sampling list with 50 sites). A recent study of the collembolan fauna from Crete was published by SCHULZ & LYMBERAKIS (2006). They recorded 22 Collembola species (pitfall trap samples from 4 sites near the mountain village Anopolis, western Crete). The present contribution continues the study of collem- bolan fauna of Crete, especially of its mountain regions. Material and methods Collembolan sampling was carried out between 5-24 and 6-9-2004 in nearly 30 different sites. More than 200 samples (mostly moss and litter 175 layer) were taken and extracted in modified Berlese devices. Additionally an aspirator was used for collecting springtails from stones. Fig. 1: Mountain area near the Kallergi cottage. Many aspirator collec- tions from the stones were taken here.

In this paper, we combined morphology and DNA barcode data to investigate the complicated taxonomy of two Onychiurid Collembolan species. Thalassaphorura thalassophila and Thalassaphorura debilis are among the most common arthropod species in intertidal ecosystems and are often considered to be synonymous. Based on morphological and barcode analyses of fresh material collected in their type localities, we redescribed and compared the two species. However, their morphological distinctiveness was supported by a molecular divergence much smaller than previously reported at the interspecific level among Collembola. This divergence was even smaller than inter-population divergences recognized in the related edaphic species T. zschokkei, as well as those known between MOTUs within many Collembolan species. Our results may indicate a link between low genetic interspecific

(Email: [email protected]) Abstract An updated checklist of Collembola from India is provided with their distribution. A total of 342 species under 113 genera grouped in 20 families are listed. 307 species belong to 97 genera of order Poduromorpha + Entomobryomorpha and 35 species belongs to 16 genera of order Symphypleona. Additionally, a new distributional data have been provided for Seventy eight species recorded from different states of India. Keywords: Collembola, species, checklist, India. Received: 9 May 2017; Revised: 3 June 2018; Online: 5 June 2018. Introduction The Collembola, commonly called are some of the researchers who have “spring-tails”, are small, entognathous, wingless substantially added a number of species to the hexapods possessing a spring-like forked Collembola from India. Indian fauna of jumping organ, the furcula, underneath the Collembola is represented by 342 species of 113 fourth abdominal segment. There are about 8800 genera belonging to 20 families. Out of which, described species of Collembola worldwide Poduromorpha + Entomobryomorpha consists (Bellinger et al., 2018). of 307 species in 97 genera in 12 families: The first Indian species of collembola Neanuridae (55 species of 24 genera), from Malabar hill regions was published by Tullbergidae (6 species
