Hemilobella, a new genus of Lobellini (Collembola : Neanuridae) from Australia and Malaysia with notes on other Australian lobelline genera

Abstract

A new genus of Lobellini, Hemilobella, is erected for two new species from Tasmania, H. rounsevelli and H. pluvia, and two described species, H. newmani (Womersley) from Western Australia and H. perakensis (Yosii) from Malaysia, the latter two formerly in Lobella and Propeanura respectively. A key is given to the three genera of Lobellini currently known from Australasia and another to the four species of Hemilobella. Australian species of Yuukianura and Paleonura are discussed.
