Superodontella
Superodontella is a genus of springtails (Collembola) in the family Odontellidae, established by Stach in 1949. The genus has been documented across multiple continents including Europe, where recent studies have expanded its known range into Italy and Ukraine. Species-level identification relies on detailed chaetotaxy, particularly antennal sensilla patterns and specific arrangements of chaetae on body segments.
Superodontella cornifer
Superodontella cornifer is a species of springtail in the family Odontellidae. It has been recorded across diverse regions including Arctic, sub-Arctic, and North American temperate zones, as well as Caribbean mainland areas. The species shows a notably broad geographic distribution for a collembolan. Available records suggest it occupies varied climatic zones from cold northern regions to tropical Caribbean environments.
