Checklist of the Collembola: Key to the genera of Callyntrurini

This key is still under construction. Note that missing figures will be provided as soon as possible. Currently, the key is in the feasibility study phase to find out how to integrate in the checklist in a modular way a key that has been generated with DELTA.

1(0). Ocular seta oc2 always macrochaeta; ocular setae not more than

3(2). Cephalic area occipitalis always with 2 macrochaetae: O1
        (fig.1a); cephalic area genalis always with G1 and G2 present
        as macrochaetae (fig.1a)................... Dicranocentroides
      Cephalic area occipitalis always without macrochaetae (fig.1b);
