Collembola α-taxonomy springtails Pseudachorutella intricata sp. nov. Central Asia

Abstract

Pseudachorutella intricata sp. nov. from Kyrgyzstan is described and illustrated in detail. Among known members of the genus, the new species is distinguished by a strong reduction of furca i.e. absence of mucro. In addition, the morphology of the first instar larva and the key to all Pseudachorutella from the Palearctic are provided.
