Parisotoma notabilis is the most common species of Collembola in Europe and currently designated as ubiquist. This has been extensively used numerous studies considered well characterized on a morphological ground. Despite homogeneity its morphology, sequencing barcoding fragment (5′ end COI) for several populations throughout North America revealed four distinct genetic lineages. The divergence found between these lineages was similar to distance among other genus included analysis. All...
