FOSSIL COLLEMBOLA

Apart from extant collembolan species listed above, several fossil forms have been described from Canadian Cretaceous amber (Folsom 1937a; Christiansen & Pike, 2002, 2002a). Two of them, Protentomobrya walkeri Folsom, 1937 (the only extinct species mentioned by Skidmore (1995)) and Oncobrya decepta Christiansen & Pike, 2002, belong to extinct families: Protentomobryidae Folsom, 1937, and Oncobryidae Christiansen & Pike, 2002, respectively. The others represent extinct genera of modern collembolan families or superfamilies, Bellingeria cornua Christiansen & Pike, 2002 ( Brachystomellidae), Protoisotoma micromucra Christiansen & Pike, 2002 ( Isotomidae), Pseudoxenylla fovealis Christiansen & Pike, 2002 ( Neanuroidea), Entomocerus mirus Christiansen & Pike, 2002 ( Tomoceridae), Brevimucronus anomalus Christiansen & Pike, 2002 (Sminthuridoidea) and Keratopygos megalos Christiansen & Pike, 2002 ( Sminthuridoidea).

checklist

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Babenko, Anatoly, Stebaeva, Sophya, Turnbull, Matthew S. (2019): An updated checklist of Canadian and Alaskan Collembola. Zootaxa 4592 (1): 1-125, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4592.1.1

Abstract

The available literature data on the species diversity and geographical distribution of Collembola in Canada and Alaska is summarized. In total, the checklist covers 541 named species of Collembola. This includes 475 species in 135 genera from 24 families recorded from Canada, as well as 241 species in 75 genera from 19 families reported from Alaska. For each species the current name, basionym with a full reference, records for different provinces and territories with their authorships, and general distributional ranges are given. Taxonomic remarks have been added when necessary. The checklist is based on 536 references (including 262 with Canadian records) published up to May 2018 and on a number of publicly available online resources.
