Subfamily Entomobryinae Schäffer, 1896 sensu Zhang & Deharveng 2015 View in CoL

Genus Entomobrya Rondani, 1861 View in CoL

Type species. Entomobrya muscorum (Nicolet, 1842) View in CoL : 75, pl. 8, Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 , Europe, probably Switzerland ( Jordana 2012: 147). Distribution of the type species. Holarctic ( Jordana 2012; Mari-Mutt et al. 1997 –2021; Bellinger et al. 1996 –2024).

Diagnosis of genus. Body unscaled with mic and mes abruptly ciliate; mac and mes finely ciliate, apically acuminate or foot-shaped, short or elongated ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 ); Ant I without subdivisions; Ant IV apical bulb present or absent ( Fig. 4B View FIGURE 4 ); prelabral chaetae smooth or ciliate, simple or rarely bifurcate ( Figs 6A View FIGURE 6 , 49D View FIGURE 49 ); four labral papillae ( Fig. 6B View FIGURE 6 ); eyes 8 per side ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 ); dorsal macrochaetotaxy dense or reduced ( Figs 25 View FIGURE 25 , 51 View FIGURE 51 ); intersegmental membranes smooth, lacking chaetae; tibiotarsus I–III outer sides with a row of mac finely ciliate ( Fig. 33E View FIGURE 33 ); dens distally crenulate and eventually with one to two rows of modified chaetae ( Fig. 19D View FIGURE 19 ), inner side without spines; mucro laterally flattened and with 2 teeth (proximal and distal) projected dorsally, plus 1 proximal spine ( Fig. 11B View FIGURE 11 ) (adapted and updated from Rondani 1861; Christiansen 1958b; South 1961; Jordana & Baquero 2005; Jordana 2012; Bellini et al. 2015; Santos et al. 2020; Viana et al. 2022).

Remarks. All Entomobrya species from the Brazilian Amazon herein studied (except E. linda and E. bicyana sp. nov.) resemble at some extent two other Entomobryinae genera, Entomobryoides Maynard, 1951 and Amazhomidia Cipola & Bellini, 2016 in Cipola et al. 2016a ( Maynard 1951; Cipola et al. 2016a, 2018b). They are more similar to Entomobryoides by Ant IV apical bulb absent ( Fig. 4B View FIGURE 4 ), labial papilla E l.p. exceeding the base of a.a. (only in E. uambae ), and tibiotarsus inner side with two rows of modified chaetae. However, we believe these characteristics do not clearly support Entomobryoides , since there are at least five species of Entomobrya with the apical bulb on Ant IV, but also with modified chaetae on the tibiotarsus, like: Entomobrya murreensis Yosii & Ashraf, 1965 , E. nigritella Yosii & Ashraf, 1965 , E. arborea ( Tullberg, 1871) , E. caesarea Latzel, 1917 and E. tristriata Ma & Chang, 2020 (see Yosii & Ashraf 1965: 156–157; Jordana 2012: 209; Chang et al. 2020: 336). Furthermore, considering that the tibiotarsal modified chaetae are present in many Entomobryoidea genera ( Cipola et al. 2017, 2018a, 2020, 2022; Cipola & Greenslade 2023), if not in the majority, it is more likely that this characteristic is homoplastic or even plesiomorphic when compared between the taxa.

Other features, including the presence or absence of an apical bulb on Ant IV, are not sufficient for separating taxa at the generic or subgeneric level, at least to some taxa of Entomobryinae and Lepidocyrtinae ( Cipola et al. 2017, 2018b, 2018c). This is also the case of the size of labial papilla E l.p., whose morphology changes in different species, as observed in some genera of Entomobryidae ( Jordana 2012; Cipola et al. 2017, 2018b). This is the case of E. uambae compared to other Entomobrya spp. in the present study. Furthermore, it is necessary to consider that Entomobryoides does not have an annulated Ant IV and smooth and bifurcate prelabral chaetae, like the specimens studied here, so we believe it is inconsistent to include E. paroara , E. egleri , E. uambae , E. acreanenis sp. nov., E. albitrigona sp. nov., E. bicyana sp. nov., E. elizeuli sp. nov., E. idenilzae sp. nov. and E. pseudomaculata sp. nov. in Entomobryoides . Such characteristics are also present in Amazhomidia , a genus which differs from Entomobrya by scaled body, cephalic groove without scale-like chaetae, and dens with dorsal spines ( Cipola et al. 2016a).

The presence of smooth and bifurcate prelabral chaetae is an atypical feature within Entomobrya ( Jordana 2012; Katz et al. 2015; Viana et al. 2022), but we find it more coherent to keep E. paroara , E. egleri , E. uambae , E. acreanenis sp. nov., E. albitrigona sp. nov., E. bicyana sp. nov., E. elizeuli sp. nov., E. idenilzae sp. nov. and E. pseudomaculata sp. nov. in Entomobrya , at least until these species can be studied in a phylogenetic perspective. To date, the phylogenetic relationships of most species of Entomobrya and Entomobryoides have yet to be properly tested ( Zhang & Deharveng 2015; Zhang et al. 2019), including of course the species studied here.
