Pseudachorutes complexus

turns out the best match. Especially given the broad mucro and short dens (ratio dens/mucro = 1.5).

Are you confident enough...

...for me to make a new species page?

… Ken Wolgemuth, 21 November, 2021 - 10:37am

If you are not confident enough

just leave it under Pseudachorutes.

… Frans Janssens, 21 November, 2021 - 10:58am

I don't know enough...

...to have any degree of confidence. That's why I'm asking you. :)

… Ken Wolgemuth, 21 November, 2021 - 12:09pm

Well

I'm confident enough to include it in collembola.org ;-)

I am thrilled

to have gotten a species identification on this bug. Thank you, Frans! For future reference can you point me to a key for this family or genus? I can’t access Massoud; 1967 and can’t find a copy of Christiansen/Bellinger; 1980 to buy. Thanks again for taking the time to figure this out!

Feel free to use

any and all photos I may post here! I would be thrilled to contribute to your fantastic website!

Thx

for your generous offer.

… Frans Janssens, 22 November, 2021 - 11:31am

Thanks, Frans

I looked at them but for this genus the only one deals with Ukrainian species. I guess I’ll just keep posting here and bugging you😀

… Daniel Nelson, 21 November, 2021 - 4:56pm

Good enough for me

Pseudachorutinae

Probably Pseudachorutes sp.
Notice pointed mouthcone and absent anal spines, which exclude Hypogastrura.

… Frans Janssens, 20 November, 2021 - 10:18am

Thank you Frans!

So much to learn!
