Species of Australonura (Collembola : Neanuridae) from the Solomon Islands

Abstract

Four species of Australonura are recorded from the Solomon Is, of which three are new: A. popamanasiu, A. rennellensis and A. lawrencei. The fourth, here referred to as Australonura sp. cf. cirrata, is widespread and is probably a species that is already known from Australia. A key to species is given and the biogeography of the genus is described.
