چکیده
Berberentulus nelsoni Tuxen, 1976 and Gracilentulus sp. are recorded in soils from Argentina. For our knopwledge, the two acerentomids reported in this paper represent the first records of both species from Argentina. Specimens were collected in Córdoba province, during the months of November 2000 and April 2001.

New records of Protura (Entognatha, Arthropoda) from Romania, with an identification key to the Romanian species.
The Romanian Protura were studied based on 175 specimens collected from Romania, along with bibliographic data. The main publication on the Romanian proturans was written by M.A. Ionescu (1951), who described 13 species mainly from soil and forest litter from 15 collecting points. The current paper represents the first study at a national level. Faunal data on Protura were obtained from 22 site...
متن کاملThe phylogenetic positions of three basal hexapod groups (Protura, Diplura & Collembola) based on ribosomal RNA gene sequences
This study combined complete 18S with partial 28S rRNA gene sequences (~2000 nt total) to investigate the relations of basal hexapods. Ten species of Protura, 12 of Diplura, and 10 of Collembola (representing all subgroups of these three clades) were sequenced, along with five true insects and eight other arthropods, which served as outgroups. Trees were constructed with maximum parsimony, maxi...
متن کاملWhere Taxonomy Based on Subtle Morphological Differences Is Perfectly Mirrored by Huge Genetic Distances: DNA Barcoding in Protura (Hexapoda)
BACKGROUND Protura is a group of tiny, primarily wingless hexapods living in soil habitats. Presently about 800 valid species are known. Diagnostic characters are very inconspicuous and difficult to recognize. Therefore taxonomic work constitutes an extraordinary challenge which requires special skills and experience. Aim of the present pilot project was to examine if DNA barcoding can be a use...

This study combined complete 18S with partial 28S ribosomal RNA gene sequences ( approximately 2,000 nt in total) to investigate the relations of basal hexapods. Ten species of Protura, 12 of Diplura, and 10 of Collembola (representing all subgroups of these three clades) were sequenced, along with 5 true insects and 8 other arthropods, which served as out-groups.

متن کاملA comprehensive guide to the Argentinian case-bearer beetle fauna (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Camptosomata)
Knowledge of Argentinian Camptosomata has largely remained static for the last 60 years since the last publication by Francisco de Asis Monrós in the 1950's. One hundred and ninety Camptosomata species (182 Cryptocephalinae and 8 Lamprosomatinae) in 31 genera are recorded herein from Argentina. Illustrated diagnostic keys to the subfamilies, tribes, subtribes and genera of Argentinian Camptosom...
