A New Species of Collembola From 

 Laguna Beach 



GERTRUDE BACON 



In Vol. IV, No. 3, of the Journal of Entomology, I described 

 some Collembola found at Laguna Beach of the genus Isotoma. 

 During the same summer, under the same conditions and en- 

 \'ironmeut, I found a great numljer of specimens of the genus 

 Entomohrya, which, due to the kindness of Professor L. W. 

 Folsom, were identified as belonging to a new species. These 

 were found on the under side of large rocks as far out in the 

 water as it was possible to turn over the stones. This is the first 

 time that this genus has been reported found under rocks in salt 

 water. This species occurred very abundantly, far more so than 

 any of the others, and was collected in great numbers. This 

 paper is a study of the characteristics of this species.
