Thanks Frans!
Is this an immature that still hasn't developed a diagnostic pattern on the dorsum? Or are there a number of unidentifiable "plain"/unmarked species like this one?

It is not possible
to ID unpatterned USA specimens on habitus shots given the chaetotaxy is not available for USA Entomobrya species.
