“…The oldest records of pseudoscorpion suborders (Crowson et al, 1967) and families (Selden, 1993a) were documented in The Fossil Record and The Fossil Record 2, respectively, but again there have been several important discoveries since these publications. Amber records of pseudoscorpions, and their likely repositories, were listed by Keilbach (1982) and Spahr (1993). A checklist of fossil pseudoscorpions was also compiled by Schawaller (1978Schawaller ( , 1980a, but this is now outdated, and a partial overview of pseudoscorpion palaeontology can be found in Judson (2009) whilst there are other brief reviews by Selden (1990Selden ( , 1993b, Selden and Dunlop (1998), Dunlop (1996Dunlop ( , 2010, and Dunlop and Penney (2012), for example, as part of more comprehensive works on fossil arachnids.…”

Abstract. Pseudoscorpions, given their resemblance to scorpions, have attracted human attention since the time of Aristotle, although they are much smaller and lack the sting and elongated tail. These arachnids have a long evolutionary history but their origins and phylogenetic affinities are still being debated. Here, we summarise their fossil record based on a comprehensive review of the literature and data contained in other sources. Pseudoscorpions are one of the oldest colonisers of the land, with fossils known since the Middle Devonian (ca. 390 Ma). The only arachnid orders with an older fossil record are scorpions, harvestmen and acariform mites, plus two extinct groups. Pseudoscorpions do not fossilise easily, and records from the Mesozoic and Cenozoic consist almost exclusively of amber inclusions. Most Mesozoic fossils come from Archingeay and Burmese ambers (Late Cretaceous) and those from the Cenozoic are primarily from Eocene Baltic amber, although additional fossils from, for example, Miocene Dominican and Mexican ambers, are known. Overall, 16 of the 26 families of living pseudoscorpions have been documented from fossils and 49 currently valid species are recognised in the literature. Pseudoscorpions represent a case of morphological stasis and even the Devonian fossils look rather modern. Indeed, most amber fossils are comparable to Recent groups despite a major gap in the fossil record of almost 250 Myr. Baltic amber inclusions indicate palaeofauna inhabiting much warmer climates than today and point to climatic shifts in central Europe since the Eocene. They also indicate that some groups (e.g. Feaellidae and Pseudogarypidae) had much wider Eocene distributions. Their present-day occurrence is relictual and highlights past extinction events. Faunas from younger tropical amber deposits (e.g. Dominican and Mexican amber) are comparable to Recent ones. Generally, there is a strong bias in the amber record towards groups that live under tree bark, whereas those from litter habitats are underrepresented. We also discuss challenges in interpreting fossils: their cryptic morphology warranting novel techniques of morphological reconstruction, the massive gap in the fossil record between the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic, and problems with the classification of (historically) old amber material. Finally, we discuss aspects of the palaeoecology and biology of the fossils compared with the Recent fauna, such as phoresy.

“…We have not attempted to trace every passing mention of a springtail or those fossils so poorly preserved as to prevent description or attribution below the level of family (unless the same material was subsequently placed more precisely), but instead we list only those papers with attempts at some degree of identification at the generic level. In addition, we have not repeated entries from general catalogs or inventories (e.g., Keilbach, 1982;Spahr, 1990;Arillo and Ortuño, 2005), unless such secondary references presented unique data not found in a primary source. The arrangement of suprageneric groups is generally based on that of Bretfeld (1999), Deharveng (2004), SotoAdames et al (2008), and Janssens and Christiansen (2011).…”

Entomobryomorphan springtails (Hexapoda: Entognatha: Collembola) of the family Iso tomidae are the most numerous group of Collembola in Spanish amber, a pattern typical in other studied Cretaceous amber deposits. Here we provide a revision of the Spanish amber springtail fauna, Early Cretaceous (Late Albian) in age, based on 93 specimens sufficiently well preserved to permit specific identification. Three new species are erected within the Isotomidae: Anurophorinae. These are: Burmisotoma spinulifera, new species, Protoisotoma autrigoniensis, new species, and Proisotoma communis, new species. The two former are respectively placed in the Cretaceous genera Burmisotoma Christiansen and Nascimbene (previously known from Cenomanian Burmese amber) and Protoisotoma Christiansen and Pike (in both Burmese and Canadian ambers), while the last species is indistinguishable from the extant, cosmopolitan genus Proisotoma Börner (also recorded in Burmese amber). Low morphological intraspecific variability is described for P. communis. Taxa are discussed in relation to other fossil entomo bryomorphan lineages as well as their modern counterparts. A catalog of the known fossil springtails is appended. Isotomidae are diverse springtails, putatively basal among Entomobryo morpha and extending back into the Early Devonian. Indeed, taxa described herein are overall remarkably similar to their extant relatives, emphasizing the antiquity and morphological stasis of the group as a whole.
