Three new species of Philotella (Collembola, Neanuridae, Pseudachorutinae) from China with the DNA barcoding analysis
Three new species of the genus Philotella are reported from China, Philotella huadongensis sp. nov. from Jiangsu, Shanghai and Zhejiang, Philotella varisensillata sp. nov. from Hubei, Philotella fuxii sp. nov. from Henan. An updated key to the world species of the genus is also provided. In addition, the DNA barcodes of P. huadongensis sp. nov. were sequenced and genetic distances of the species in the subfamily Pseudachorutinae was analyzed.
