Calvatomina sp.

Probably new to science. It is not in the 'bible' on Northern American Collembola of Christiansen & Bellinger of 1998.
Given the very short 4th antennal segment: Dicyrtomidae.
Given the reddisch background colour of the eyepatch : tentatively Calvatomina.
More pictures pls. Such as facial aspect and ventral aspect.

Frans,

I know that once before you sent me the name of someone I could work with to have this species described and given a species name. I have lost his name. Could you please send his name again. Thank you so very much.

Thanks

for all of your help with this. I did connect with Dr. Snider and I have sent him two specimens. He is going to examine them and see if they are the one he has been working on or another new species. I will keep in touch with you and let you know what he relates to me.

Wow!

This is pretty exciting. I will take additional photographs tomorrow when I am back at the microscope. Meanwhile, I am attaching two shots I took of another individual. I think this is the same species… but you are the expert.

I added more photos.

You will see I've added ventral and facial aspect photographs. I also added two other photos that are not linked.
