Mitogenomes of the two historical species Parona, 1888 and Reuter, 1895 (Collembola, Entomobryidae, Seirinae) with their phylogenetic placement within Seirinae.

The present paper reports the first occurrence of Parona, 1888 from Hungary. On this occasion, molecular analyses were performed on both and another historical species of the genus, Reuter, 1895, originally described from Hungary. Using low-coverage whole-genome sequencing, the complete mitogenomes were assembled and annotated using MitoZ.

Two new species of Sminthurididae (Hexapoda, Collembola, Symphypleona) from Brazil with notes on Folsom & Mills and Sphaeridia Linnaniemi.

Two new species of Sminthurididae, Medeiros & Bellini, and Silva, Medeiros & Bellini, from Piaui state, Brazil, are herein described and illustrated. resembles species of the group, like Bretfeld & Gauer, Bretfeld & Gauer, and Bretfeld & Schulz, by its complex male ventral tube without asymmetrical structures or medial process. However, it differs from them by the combination of the male tibiotarsus III with a leaf-shaped IIpe chaeta and a regular IIIpi chaeta, ventral tube with 1+1 chaetae, and the absence cuticular hooks on the furca.

Systematics of Denis, 1948 (Collembola, Seirinae) reveals a new position for the species within Seirinae.

Denis, 1948, is examined and redescribed based on syntypes and by a newly discovered Chinese population. Lectotype and paralectotypes were designated, and the type locality of the species has been fixed to Câuda, near Nhatrang, Vietnam. The species was first described in the genus , but based on morphological and molecular evidence it is here transferred to .

New Tullbergiidae mitogenomes as the evidence of sister relationship with Onychiuridae (Hexapoda, Collembola).

Members of the order Poduromorpha are mostly small and delicate, many of them are notably smaller than 1 mm. For this reason, studies at the molecular level are still scarce, but modern sequencing technologies are making it possible and the Collembola genetic database have increased significantly in the last ten years. In order to contribute to future studies at the molecular level of the group, we sequenced and annotated three mitogenomes of Tullbergiidae species from China, two of them are newly determined.

A new species of Börner (Collembola, Symphypleona, Arrhopalitidae) from China, with a key to the Asian species of the group.

The second species of from China is described and illustrated and an identification key to the Asian species of the group is presented. is the eleventh species of the group recorded in Asia and it can be clearly differentiated by the unguiculus III with 2 internal teeth (0-1 in all other species). Also, the combination of antennae less than 2 times the size of the head, antennal segment IV without annulations, 1+1 eyes, dorsal head with 9 spines, 2+2 regular spines per side on the anal valves, circumanal chaetae without basal serrations, subanal appendage long and apically serrated, manubrium with 5+5, and dorsal dens with 16 chaetae is unique among the Asian species of the group.

Phylogenomics and systematics of Entomobryoidea (Collembola): marker design, phylogeny and classification.

Entomobryoidea has been the focus of phylogenetic studies in recent years owing to a divergence between morphological and genetic data. Recent phylogenies have converged on the sister relationship of Orchesellidae with the remaining Entomobryoidea, and on the non-monophyly of the traditional Paronellidae and Entomobryidae, but still lack resolution. Known molecular phylogenies of the superfamily differ greatly between mitogenomic and multilocus markers.

Mitogenomic features of three species of Entomobryoidea (Collembola) from China.

Three novel mitogenomes of Entomobryoidea were assembled and annotated. Sequences final lengths were 14,683 bp for Alloscopus bannaensis, 14,884 bp for Sinhomidia bicolor, and 14,794 bp for Coecobrya sp., including 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA, and 2 rRNA genes.

First record of Seira dowlingi (Wray, 1953) (Collembola, Entomobryidae, Seirinae) from China and mitogenome comparison with the New World specimens.

Here, the first record of Seira dowlingi from Asia is reported and its newly generated mitogenome is compared with Neotropical specimens. Molecular analyses were performed based on low-coverage whole-genome sequencing and the complete mitogenome was assembled using NovoPlasty. Our results show that the Chinese specimens have the same color pattern, chaetotaxy, and almost identical mitogenomes, differing only on three nucleotides located in protein-coding genes.

Two new species of Entomobrya Rondani (Collembola, Entomobryidae) from northeastern Brazil and comments on the genus.

Entomobrya Rondani, 1861 is one of the largest genera of springtails and the most diverse group of scaleless Entomobryoidea. Only 14 species of Entomobrya were recorded from Brazil so far. Herein we present two new Brazilian species of the genus.

Taxonomic revision of Brazilian genus Tyrannoseira Bellini amp; Zeppelini, 2011 (Collembola, Entomobryidae, Seirinae).

Tyranonoseira is revised and new diagnostic characters to the genus and its species are proposed. The genus is now characterised by distinct chaetotaxic patterns of head, in lacking M2, S1, S4, S5 macrochaetae and Th II to Abd IV with 21-27, 7, 0, 3, 1 and 8-10 central macrochaetae, as well as anterior legs of males with modified chaetae. The five species of the genus are redescribed based on type material: T.

New species of Lepidocyrtus Bourlet and Entomobrya Rondani (Collembola: Entomobryoidea: Entomobryidae) from Brazil.

The taxonomic comprehension of Brazilian entomobryids had several contributions during the last decade, but the absence of detailed chaetotaxic schemes to most of endemic species difficult identifications and probably hides undescribed species in surveys across the country. Herein we describe two new species of the family and provide detailed dorsal chaetotaxy of them, in hope to guide future identifications and descriptions within the genera in Brazil and Neotropical Region. Lepidocyrtus sotoi sp.
