Sminthurus Bivittatus, New Species from the Southeastern United States (Collembola: Sminthuridae)
Abstract
A new species, Sminthurus (Sminthurus) bivittatus Snider, is described from the Savannah River Plant, Aiken, South Carolina, Florida and central Georgia. The species is closely related to Sminthurus butcheri Snider, Sminthurus fitchi Folsom and Sminthurus packardi Folsom. It can be separated from those three species on the basis of color pattern, position of collophore seta, presence of outer mucronal teeth, absence of subapical papilla on ANT.IV, and smooth, normal P seta of bothriotrix D complex. This species is commonly taken with Sminthurus carolinensis Snider in grass sweepings. The type locality is Barnwell County, South Carolina.Downloads
