Sturmius epiphytusn. gen. n. spec, from Colombia, a taxon of the Symphypleona (Insecta, Collembola) with an unexpected character combination

摘要

AbstractFrom epiphytic mosses and ferns of remnants of mountain forest in the páramo region of Colombia,Sturmius epiphytusn. gen. n. spec, a taxon that resembles the Katianniformia, is described, the appendices anales of which are, however, directed towards the posterior. Analysis of characters allows a statement of the systematic position: in phylogenetic systematics,Sturmius epiphytusand the Katianniformia form a monophylum Anteriora as the sister group of the Sminthuriformia; in Linnean categories, forSturmiusn. gen., a new family Sturmiidae must be established with a new superfamily Sturmioidea as the sister group of a new superfamily Katiannoidea
