Pseudosinella Springtails - Pseudosinella
Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, USA
December 11, 2011
Size: ~1-2mm
I found a bunch of these tiny white springtails under a board. I originally thought these were Cyphoderus similis, but Frans Janssens pointed out that because the third segment of the anntenna is the same shape and length as the second and fourth segements it is actually a species in the genus Pseudosinella.
