Family Tomoceridae, Genus Tomocerus

Hi Stephen and Jim. Indeed Tomoceridae are giants among the Collembola. Body length can be up to 6 mm. The long antennae are characteristic for the members of the family Tomoceridae.

Thank-you

Thank-you Frans, I really value your expertise! It is nice to be able to put a genus name on this one.

Springtail

Put it in the Collembolla section and maybe Frans Janssen of Collembola.org will spot it there and get it to genus for you.

Springtail

Thanks, Jim. I had thought of Elongate Springtails but thought 5.5 mm was beyond their upward limit for size. In fact, add on the antennae and this guy was a giant! Moving to Arthropleona.

for me, that is. The springtail, who knows? ;-)
