Collembola taxonomy springtails Friesea kariae sp. nov. Stachia oregonensis sp. nov. Oregon British Columbia

Abstract

Two new species of genera Friesea Dalla Torre, 1895 and Stachia Folsom, 1932 are described and fully illustrated. Friesea kariae sp. nov. is easily distinguished by absence of eyes, presence of five anal spines, furcula in state 3 and retinaculum with 2+2 teeth. Stachia oregonensis sp. nov. is easily distinguished by its femoral and trochanteral chaetotaxy, presence of three rounded lobes in postantennal organ and setae a 1 on most thoracic and abdominal terga. Keys to the known eyeless members of the genus Friesea Dalla Torre, 1895 and all the species of Stachia Folsom, 1932 are also included.
