Three new species of Collembola are described for Southeastern Brazil: Arrhopalites mendoncae sp. nov., Pararrhopalites queirozi and Coecobrya phoenix nov. Although they were collected in caves present characters such as absence pigmentation, reduction or eyes, restriction to the local hypogean environment, none them is troglobite. It first known from Brazil, second genus with a trichobothrial complex angle superior 160°, third three sensilla inter-antennal region. All named honor Museu...
A new genus and two species of Sminthurinae are described. Keratosminthurus tapigu gen. nov. sp. K. calamitosus show a combination features that redefines the subfamily Sminthurinae, such as pair sminthuroid chaetae, unguis without cavity, nine apical chaetae on tibiotarsus, 11 or more anterior dental fourth antennal segment clearly subdivided into many (18 more) subsegments, asymmetric apex mucro. The also presents striking sexual dimorphism, with modifications male organ III, spines...
Springtails (Collembola) inhabit soils from the Arctic to Antarctic and comprise an estimated ~32% of all terrestrial arthropods on Earth. Here, we present a global, spatially-explicit database springtail communities that includes 249,912 occurrences 44,999 samples 2,990 sites. These data are mainly raw sample-level records at species level collected predominantly private archives authors were quality-controlled taxonomically-standardised. Despite covering continents, most come European...
Herein, eyeless Pseudosinella species from Brazilian caves are reviewed, including the description of 23 new species, records plus additional notes on descriptions P. ambigua Zeppelini, Brito, and Lima guanhaensis Lima. We also provide an identification key to 27 recorded Brazil. To organize 26 taxa analyzed in this work, we them apparently artificial groups: 11 have one larger tooth unguiculus outer lamella (petterseni group); presents smooth or serrated (never with a tooth), 9 held...
Abstract A hotspot of subterranean Collembola in ferruginous rock caves and Mesovoid Shallow Substratum is revealed by the analysis pseudocryptic diversity. The diversity accessed detailed description chaetotaxy slight variation morphology 11 new species Trogolaphysa Mills, 1938 (Collembola, Paronellidae, Paronellinae) 50 previously recorded springtails from caves, using optical electronic microscopy. When combined with recent surveys, our results show an important reservoir cave Substratum....
Abstract A proposal for taxonomic species description notation is presented to replace the traditional descriptive texts a coded matrix, avoiding redundant adjectives and subjective descriptions. This an attempt enhance rate make descriptions output available other scientific disciplines, machine learning, interactive computer‐assisted identification keys, metadata analysis its applications. The method consists of presenting overall morphology in following character list with detailed...
Three new species of Collembola are described from small shallow caves in Southeastern Brazil: Arrhopalites glabrofasciatus sp. nov., Pseudosinella ambigua nov. and guanhaensis The were found surveys performed as part the process to accomplish permits for high impact enterprising. change legislation is discussed a suggestion made improve process. long term effects law resulted discovery many genera, most them being (or be) described.
Two new species of springtails (Symphypleona: Sminthuridae), Pararrhopalites sideroicus sp. nov. and palaciosi are described. The come from very different environments, the first is a cave dweller in iron caves other comes tropical Atlantic forest leaf litter. They were found only type localities, Southeastern Northeastern Brazil respectively. An identification key provided for all members genus.
A new species of springtail (Symphypleona, Collophoridae), Collophora brasilis sp. nov., is described, the first known from Brazil. The distributed coastal region to semi-arid in northeastern It characterized by reduction trochanteral setae and teeth on empodial complex. Diagnostic features are illustrated compared other members genus.
We present the catalogue of species Collembola Coleção de Referência Fauna Solo at Universidade Estadual da Paraíba (CRFS/ UEPB), including 6 holotypes Isotogastruridae, Lepidocyrtidae, Neanuridae, and Sminthuridae families. Four are newly recorded in Brazil: Arrhopalites caecus (Tullberg, 1871) Börner, 1906; Lepidocyrtus neofasciatus Wray, 1948; Folsomides famarensis Fjellberg, 1993; Sminthurides aquaticus (Bourlet, 1842) Folsom, 1896; 1 genus, Neelus 1896.
A new proposal for taxonomic species description is presented to replace the traditional descriptive texts. This an attempt enhance rate and make output available other scientific disciplines, machine learning, lucid identification keys, big data analysis its applications. The method consists in presenting of overall morphology a coded matrix, following character list with detailed observed conditions each character. supposed be dynamic open amendments addition as they become available.
