A New Bovicornia from St. Thomas and Tortola (United States and British Virgin Islands) and Notes on Bovicornia uniformis (Insecta: Collembola: Sminthuridae)

Abstract

Bovicornia bidoma n. sp. is described based on specimens from St. Thomas and Tortola (U.S. and British Virgin Islands, respectively). Additional notes are added to the description of B. uniformis Murphy based on type material and both species are compared. Bovicornia is reported for the first time from the Neotropical Region; it was previously known from Africa and the Solomon Islands.
