Collembola Hypogastrura exigua Hypogastrura oreophila Hypogastrura parvula Orogastrura parva synonymy redescription

Abstract

The examination of the holotypes of Hypogastrura parvula Haybach, 1972 and Orogastrura parva (Gisin, 1949) revealed that they are conspecific, resulting in the synonymization of the former with the latter. The similar, but poorly known, species H. exigua Gisin, 1958 and H. oreophila Butschek, 1948 from the Alps have been redescribed.
