“…It will provide a starting point for understanding the diversity of this group, as has been done for other geopolitical regions (e.g. Culik and Zeppelini 2003, Abrantes et al 2010, 2012), and will assist South Africa to meet its obligations under the Convention on Biological Diversity (see for example Aichi Target 9 on identifying invasive alien species, and Aichi Target 17 on a national biodiversity strategy, http://www.cbd.int/sp/targets). …”

Understanding the abundance and richness of species is one of the most fundamental steps in effecting their conservation. Despite global recognition of the significance of the below-ground component of diversity for ecosystem functioning, the soil remains a poorly studied terrestrial ecosystem. In South Africa, knowledge is increasing for a variety of soil faunal groups, but many still remain poorly understood. We have started to address this gap in the knowledge of South African soil biodiversity by focusing on the Collembola in an integrated project that encompasses systematics, barcoding and ecological assessments. Here we provide an updated list of the Collembola species from South Africa. A total of 124 species from 61 genera and 17 families has been recorded, of which 75 are considered endemic, 24 widespread, and 25 introduced. This total number of species excludes the 36 species we consider to be dubious. From the published data, Collembola species richness is high compared to other African countries, but low compared to European countries. This is largely a consequence of poor sampling in the African region, as our discovery of many new species in South Africa demonstrates. Our analyses also show that much ongoing work will be required before a reasonably comprehensive and spatially explicit picture of South Africa’s springtail fauna can be provided, which may well exceed 1000 species. Such work will be necessary to help South Africa meet its commitments to biodiversity conservation, especially in the context of the 2020 Aichi targets of the Convention on Biological Diversity.

“…nov. there are now 12 species of the genus recorded from Brazil ( Table 1 ). Most of these species are only known from their type locality, with the exception of D. albicephalus (from Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo states), D. heloisae (from Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Bahia states) and D. silvestrii (Rio de Janeiro, Bahia and possibly Santa Catarina states) [ 4 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 61 , 62 , 63 ]. Of such species only D. silvestrii was recorded in other countries and it is considered widespread in South America, known from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Peru and Venezuela [ 9 ], although its records are doubtful (see comments on this species, below).…”

Dicranocentrus Schött is the most diverse and widespread taxon of Neotropical Orchesellidae. In Brazil, the genus is represented by 11 species found in humid forested areas of Atlantic and Amazon forests domains. Here we describe in detail Dicranocentrus abestado sp. nov. from Chapada Diamantina, Caatinga domain, Brazil. The new species belongs to the marias group sensu Mari-Mutt, due to the absence of most posterior macrochaetae on the dorsal head, and resembles other Neotropical species with 3, 2 and 2 central macrochaetae on abdominal segments I–III. However, the new species is unique especially by its reduced colour pattern combined with its empodial complex morphology. We compare Dicranocentrus abestado sp. nov. with 27 other taxa from the New and Old World, including all species with 3 macrochaetae on the first abdominal segment; provide notes and details on the morphology of the compared species plus identification keys to Brazilian and all species of the genus with similar abdominal chaetotaxy. We also discuss the current taxonomical knowledge on Brazilian Dicranocentrus and provide notes on its chaetotaxy and Heteromurinae systematics.

“…The genus is one of the most representative and widespread groups of Pseudachorutinae (Neanuridae) in the Neotropics [ 6 , 9 ]. In Brazil, Neotropiella is the most diverse genus of Poduromorpha, with 13 recorded species: Neotropiella arlei Najt, Thibaud and Weiner, 1990; N. barbatae Queiroz, Silveira and Mendonça, 2013; N. carli (Denis, 1924); N. denisi (Arlé, 1939); N. digitomucronata Thibaud and Massoud, 1983; N. insularis Queiroz, Silveira and Mendonça, 2013; N. macunaimae Queiroz, Silveira and Mendonça, 2013; N. meridionalis (Arlé, 1939); N. minima Thibaud and Oliveira, 2010; N. plurichaetosa Thibaud and Oliveira, 2010; N. quinqueoculata (Denis, 1931); N. silvestrii (Denis, 1929); and N. vanderdrifti Massoud, 1963 [ 6 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Most Brazilian taxa have been recorded from humid forests or their surroundings within the Atlantic and Amazon forests domains [ 6 , 9 , 12 , 14 , 18 ].…”

Neotropiella Handschin, 1942 is a pantropical genus of Pseudachorutinae with 18 species, 16 of which are from the Neotropical Region and 13 from Brazil. The genus has several species with unclear descriptions. Herein, we describe a new species of Neotropiella, survey the genus based on published papers and discuss its morphology, providing an updated genus diagnosis plus a detailed comparison table and a key to all known species. Neotropiella arretada sp. nov. is unique in the combination of a postantennal organ with 14–20 vesicles, its mandible with five teeth, its maxilla apically pointed and its unguis with a pair of reduced teeth. Widely distributed taxa may be species complexes, especially due to their unclear descriptions.
