Collembola Pseudosinella Bonet collection description new species

Abstract

The revision of the specimens of Pseudosinella at the Bonet Collection (MNCN, Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales-CSIC, Madrid) have allow us to describe four new species found among 175 slides with more than 420 specimens. One of them belongs to the petterseni-group (unguiculus with a fully developed tooth and without eyes). The differential characters of Pseudosinella species from Christiansen (2007), and four characters more, have been used for comparison with the related species.
