Abstract

PALACIOS-VARGAS, José G.  and  VILLARREAL-ROSAS, Jaramar. A new Mexican species of Folsomides (Collembola: Isotomidae). Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2013, vol.84, n.2, pp.480-484. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.7550/rmb.32867.

A new species of Folsomides from Baja California Sur is described and illustrated. It is clearly differentiated from F. chichinautzini Kovác et Palacios-Vargas and F. decemoculatus Scherbakov by its smaller size, the different shape of the postantennal organ, the number of sensillae in the antennal segment IV, the number of dental setae and the body chaetotaxy. In addition a key for identification of the American species of Folsomides is provided.
