Entomobrya assuta
Entomobrya assuta is a species of slender springtail described by J.W. Folsom in 1924. It belongs to the family Entomobryidae, one of the most diverse families within the order Entomobryomorpha. The species has been documented across multiple continents, with distribution records from North America and Australia. Springtails in this genus are generally small, soft-bodied hexapods that inhabit soil and leaf litter environments.
Entomobrya ligata
slender springtail
Entomobrya ligata is a species of slender springtail in the family Entomobryidae. It belongs to the order Entomobryomorpha, one of the major lineages of springtails (Collembola). The species was described by J.W. Folsom in 1924. Like other members of its genus, it possesses a slender body form and the characteristic furcula (springing organ) that enables the jumping locomotion typical of springtails. The species has been recorded from North America and the Caribbean mainland.
Lepidocyrtus cinereus
slender springtail
Lepidocyrtus cinereus is a species of slender springtail in the family Entomobryidae, first described by J.W. Folsom in 1924. As a member of the genus Lepidocyrtus, it belongs to a diverse group of Collembola characterized by elongated bodies and well-developed furculae (springing organs). The species epithet 'cinereus' (ash-colored) likely refers to its grayish coloration. Available information on this species is limited, with most biological details remaining undocumented in accessible literature.
Lepidocyrtus cyaneus
slender springtail
Lepidocyrtus cyaneus is a species of slender springtail in the family Entomobryidae. First described by Tullberg in 1871, this species belongs to a genus characterized by scaled bodies and often vivid coloration. The species has been documented from multiple localities including islands in the Azores (Flores, Pico, São Miguel, Terceira), as well as Bulgaria.
Seira dollfusi
Seira dollfusi is a species of springtail in the family Entomobryidae, first described by Carl in 1899. The species was originally placed in the genus Sira before being transferred to Seira. It belongs to the group commonly known as slender springtails, characterized by their elongated body form. The species has been documented through 69 iNaturalist observations, indicating some level of detection in field surveys. Taxonomic status varies across sources, with Catalogue of Life listing it as a synonym of Seira (Seira) squamoornata, while GBIF and NCBI maintain it as an accepted species.
Sinella sexoculata
slender springtail
Sinella sexoculata is a species of slender springtail in the family Entomobryidae, described by Schött in 1896. As an entomobryomorph collembolan, it possesses the characteristic elongated body form and well-developed antennae typical of this group. The species has been documented in the Caribbean mainland and Pacific North American regions based on GBIF distribution records. Like other members of the genus Sinella, it inhabits soil and leaf litter environments where it contributes to decomposition processes.
