چکیده
Two new species, Seira coroatensis sp. nov. and Seira diamantinae sp. nov., from different areas of Caatinga Biome, Northeastern Brazil, are described and illustrated in this paper. Seira coroatensis sp. nov. share some similarities with Seira mendoncae Bellini & Zeppelini and Seira ritae Bellini & Zeppelini, but presents a very distinct pattern of setae on dorsal head and mesothorax. In the other hand, Seira diamantinae sp. nov. is the fifth neotropical species described bearing modified blunt macrosetae on distal manubrium and proximal dens. The detailed dorsal chaetotaxy of S. paraibensis Bellini & Zeppelini and S. glabra Godeiro & Bellini are presented with some notes regarding the original descriptions of the species.

متن کاملFirst instar tibiotarsal chaetotaxy supports the Entomobryidae and Symphypleona (Collembola) forming a cluster in a phylogenetic tree.
Tibiotarsi, particularly their chaetotaxy, vary from species to orders in Collembola. Symphypleona, Poduromorpha and Isotomidae have been shown to possess characteristic patterns of tibiotarsal chaetotaxy, but the patterns in Entomobryoidea and Tomoceroidea, where a strong plurichaetosis is the rule, remains undocumented. The tibiotarsal chaetotaxy of first instars of 11 species of the main Ent...
متن کاملPostembryonic development of the dorsal chaetotaxy in Seira dowlingi (Collem- bola, Entomobryidae); with an analysis of the diagnostic and phylogenetic significance of primary chaetotaxy in Seira
Chaetotaxy is probably the most important character system used to diagnose species in Entomobryidae, but its use in studies of phylogenetic relationships of suprageneric taxa has been hampered by difficulties in identifying the homology of individual setae. Currently there is developmental information for three (Orchesella, Entomobrya sensu lato and Lepidocyrtus sensu lato) of the four largest...
متن کاملTwo new species of Willowsia from New Caledonia (Collembola: Entomobryidae).
The genus Willowsia is reported for the first time from New Caledonia. Two new species, W. neocaledonica sp. nov. and W. nigra sp. nov., are described based on material deposited at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris. The new species can be distinguished from other members of the genus by coloration and characters of the dorsal chaetotaxy of the head and terga.
