COLLEMBOLA OF MINNESOTA ^^ 



usual in this genus, on the mucrones, but was probably overlooked 

 by the describer. The tenent hair is not greatly swollen. Length, 

 2.36 mm. Somewhat rare in the southern part of the state, more 

 common in the northern part. Taken under bark and boards 

 in rather damp places. 



Entomobrya spectabilis Reut. 

 PI. VIII, Figs. 12-16.

1895. Entomabrya spectabilis. Reuter, Finl. Coll. p. 21. 



1896. Entomobrya spectabilis. Schaffer, Coll. v. Hamburg, p. 194. 



The species is described by Reuter as : "Yellow, hairy, sides 

 of the head and hind part of mesonotum slightly ferrugineous, 

 eyespots, margins of meso- and metanotum, also the I, II, IV 

 and V abdominal segments, almost the entire metanotum, pos- 

 terior part of Abd. II, a regular transverse rectangle on the 

 front part of Abd, IV, with lateral extensions confluent at the 

 sides and behind by curved lines, black; Ant. Ill and IV cy- 

 anescent. Length, 1.5 mm." 



The species is very abundant in the greenhouse of the 

 University, but I have never taken it elsewhere, hence there 

 is some doubt as to its being a native of the state. A very 

 constant species as to color. In size, our specimens exceed those 

 of the original description by almost a third, measuring 1.9 mm.
