Ordo: Protura
Familia: Acerentomidae
Name
Fjellbergella Nosek, 1978: 57. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Type species
Fjellbergella tuxeni Nosek, 1980.
Diagnosis
Mesonotum and metanotum each with two pairs of anterior setae, labial palpus with two-branched terminal tuft of setae, sensillum d located near t2 insertion, abdominal appendages II and III each with three setae, foretarsal sensillum t1 claviform, sensillum b’ present, striate band on abdominal segment VIII reduced and sternite VIII with 4/2 setae.
Remarks
The genus Fjellbergella containes only two species so far: Fjellbergella tuxeni Nosek, 1980 from Alaska and Fjellbergella uteorum Shrubovych & Bernard, 2013 from Colorado (Nosek 1980[1]; Shrubovych and Bernard 2013[2]). Except that, one species of the similar form Brasilidia jilinensis Wu & Yin, 2007 was also found from Northeast China. However, the species of genus Brasilidia has reduced labial palpus without tuft, and all of them occurred in tropical area (South America and India). After recheck the type specimens, we confirmed that Brasilidia jilinensis has reduced striate band, the labial palpus with reduced tuft (two-brunched), and three setae on abdominal appendages II and III which indicate it is a member of Fjellbergella. Thus we transfer Brasilidia jilinensis to the genus Fjellbergella as a new combination Fjellbergella jilinensis (Wu & Yin, 2007), comb. n. Plus the new species described in present paper, the genus Fjellbergella contains 4 species. They can be distinguished by the following key.
