Remarks. Seira domesticaresembles other species from the WesternPalearctic region as S. atlanticaNegri, Pellecchia & Fanciulli, 2005, S. dagamaeDallai, 1973, S. deserti Jacquemart, 1974and S. graecaEllis, 1966by head mac M 4i, S4, Pa4and Pp6absent, Th II with 4 medio-central mac ( m1‒ 1i, m2‒ 2i) and Abd I‒IV with 6, 5, 1 and 12 centralmac, respectively ( Table 2). However, S. domesticadiffers from these species by Ant IV annulated (simple in S. atlanticaand S. dagamae), four conical labral papillae (two inner in S. atlantica), basomedian labial field with chaeta Rsmaller than others (subequal than others in S. atlantica, S. desertiand S. graeca), trochanteral organ with about 20 spine-like chaetae (more in S. atlanticaand S. dagamae, less in S. deserti), unguis with median teeth larger than basal (subequal in S. atlantica, S. desertiand S. graeca), and unguiculus with outer lamella serrated (smooth in S. atlanticaand S. dagamae). In addition, S. domesticadiffers from these species in chaetotaxy of the Th II with 8‒10 mac in PmCgroup and Abd IV with 18 lateral mac, while in these other species such chaetotaxy is reduced (less than 6 mac in PmCgroup and 13 lateral mac in Abd IV). Pigments in S. domesticaare restricted to the antennae, while in some species it may have adistinct pattern ( S. dagamae), with pigments in legs and abdomen parts ( S. atlantica), diffuse ( S. graeca) or even depigmented, except for eyepatches ( S. deserti). All comparisons among species are presented in Tables 1 and 2. The type locality of S. domesticawas not provided by Nicolet (1842)in the original description, but in 1847 the same author reported the presence of the species in Switzerland and France, inside houses. Nicolet lived in Switzerland, locality of many species of springtails described by him (as in Nicolet 1842, 1847). Consequently, it is
accepted todayby deduction that the typelocalityof S. domesticais also Switzerland. The typematerialof the speciesis lost, sinceit was not foundin any main Swiss collection as: Musée d'Histoire Naturelle Neuchâtel(J. Litman, personal communication); and Natural History Museumof Geneva(J. Schwendinger, personal communication). Evenso we could not analyze specimens from Switzerland, our description fits past descriptionsof S. domestica dorsalchaetotaxy (excluding possible mistakes and omissions), including Gisin& Gama(1962) which was basedin specimens from Geneva, Switzerland. However, this typological limitation prevents at this moment to determine some variations in populations of S. domestica. Gisin& Gama(1962: 792, fig. 4 A) reported the presenceof mac m 4ion headof S. domestica, as well as Jacquemart (1973: 8, fig.4), in specimens from Jordan, but this chaetais micin all specimens analyzed here. Other variations observedin our specimensis PmA and PmC groupsof theTh II, central macof Th III, and one specimen( from same locality) with mac a3in Abd III( Figs 6 A‒B, E), but these may have been omitted, since these authors did not reveal variations in their descriptions.
