Abstract

A new species of Oncopodura (Collembola: Entomobryomorpha: Oncopoduridae) from a cave in Majorca is described. The new species can be distinguished from other species of the genus by the following characters: four distal leaf-shaped sensilla on antennal segment IV and another one on the basal part; PAO small, as a single vesicle; dens with distal outer hook-like spine; mucr with four teeth, with the basal one very sharp; basal part of dens with a large spine on the inner side; claw with a long lateral tooth. The discovery of this new species resulted from the speleological work that was carried out in the cave.
