Based on available literature sources, we have listed the genera and species of springtails (Collembola) of Iran located in Southwest Asia. In total, 301 named species of Collembola are listed in catalogue. This includes 286 described species in 109 genera from 20 families recorded from Iran. Of them, 15 species are also considered as dubious species. It also includes 15 genera whose species are still unknown. Information about biology, geographical distribution, ecology, authorship records for different provinces, and bibliographical data of Iranian Collembola are included.

An updated catalog of Collembola nominal species recorded in Colombia is herein provided, including two new records for the country: Entomobrya linda Soto-Adames, 2002 and Folsomides centralis (Denis, 1931), both found in Reserva Natural Mesenia – Paramillo (Antioquia Department). The data were obtained from the original descriptions, as well as secondary records surveyed until December 2022. I considered localities whose studies contained identification at generic level, but disregarded those who only contained records at family level. For each species, its type locality and general distribution were provided, in addition to the site of record in Colombia, which were plotted on a map. I also present the cumulative number of nominal species recorded and described from Colombia from 1929 to 2022. Colombia has now 38 nominal species (20 endemic) in 21 genera (one endemic, plus 19 without nominal species) and 16 families of Collembola distributed in 22 sites of the 11 departments and five regions. Of this total of families, Bourletiellidae, Collophoridae, Hypogastruridae and Sminthuridae only has generic records, no nominal species. Based on these data, an estimate of the species richness was made suggesting that at the current rate of species records, to recognize 231 to 250 more species (6–7 species every 10 years), it will take about 300 years, and even so this time will not be sufficient to unveil the real fauna of Collembola of the country. For that reason, these results suggest that the Collembola fauna from Colombia is still underestimated in relation to other countries from South America.

Hypogastrura gisini Strenzke, 1954 is redescribed based on paratypes and other available material. A description of similar new species from Crete‒‒H. cretensis sp. nov., formerly known as H. cf. gisini sensu Ellis (1976), is also provided. Both species belong to the manubrialis group and resemble H. breviempodialis (Stach, 1949), H. tianshanica Martynova, 1970 and H. ubsunurensis Babenko, 1999, which have a retinaculum with 3 + 3 teeth and a maxillary head of the H. vernalis type. H. gisini has a unique combination of morphological characters: claws without inner tooth, empodium shorter than half inner edge of claw, without basal lamella and setae m1 on abdominal tergum V usually absent. This species prefers sandy habitats on the shores of the Baltic Sea, Kattegat, North Sea, Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea. H. cretensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following features: claws with small inner tooth, empodium with basal lamella equal to or slightly longer than half of the inner edge of claws and setae m1 on abdominal tergum V usually present. The new species seems to be associated with anthropogenic habitats mainly (e.g. roadsides, orchards, meadows) in the interior of Crete.

Based on what we believe is a complete survey of the previous literature, the citations of the collembola found in Vietnam are recorded. In total, the catalogue includes 350 species in 118 genera from 21families (69 dubious records). For each species the current name is indicated, as well as the basionym and main synonyms with the complete bibliographic reference, the records for different provinces and regions with the authorships, and the general distribution data. When necessary, taxonomic notes are added. The catalog includes 120 bibliographic references (up to December 2021). The main goal of this paper is to promote future studies on the collembolan fauna of Vietnam.

M. seotalensis sp. nov. showed the similar pattern of body chaetotaxy with M. ojcoviensis, however, several characters were different (Table 2). Most noticeable differences between two species were the body color (light brown or much less and light purple in M. seotalensis sp. nov. (Fig. 3b) vs totally white in M. ojcoviensis (Fig. 3c)), claw teeth (unguis with three teeth in M. seotalensis sp. nov. (Fig. 8a) vs unguis without (rarely 1) tooth in M. ojcoviensis (Fig. 8b–d)) and number of eyes (3 + 3 in M. seotalensis sp. nov. (Fig. 5a) vs 2 + 2 in M. ojcoviensis (Fig. 5b)). The number of eyes is rather similar to M. boneti and M. kuzuuensis Yosii, 1956 as 3 + 3. However this new species differs from M. boneti in the arrangement of the eyes (close each other in M. boneti (Tarsia in Curia 1941; Fig. 5c) vs anterior two close together, but one separated in M. seotalensis sp. nov.). Apart from this these two species can be easily identified by the number of m-chaetae in medial row of Abd. I–III (4 + 4 chaetae in M. seotalensis sp. nov. vs 1 + 1, rarely 2 + 2 in M. boneti). Otherwise, M. seotalensis sp. nov. and Mesogastrura kuzuuensis Yosii, 1956 have same arrangement of the eyes and mixed color pigment over whole body. However, two species showed differences in sensilla in Ant. IV. (five in M. seotalensis sp. nov. (Fig. 4a) vs four in M. kuzuuensis), claw teeth (unguis with three teeth in M. seotalensis sp. nov. (Fig. 8a) vs unguis with two teeth in M. kuzuuensis), and body chaetotaxy (absent a 2 in Th. III in M. seotalensis sp. nov. (Fig. 3a) vs a 2 present in Th. III in M. kuzuuensis; a4 on Abd. I–III as normal chaetae in M. seotalensis sp. nov. (Fig. 3a) vs a4 on Abd. I–III as sensory chaetae in M. kuzuuensis., Published as part of Chang, Gyu-Dong, Kim, Sun-Sook & Park, Kyung-Hwa, 2022, One new species and one new record for the genus Mesogastrura (Collembola, Hypogastruridae) from Korean caves, with DNA barcodes, pp. 325-342 in Zootaxa 5222 (4) on pages 329-331, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5222.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/7466656, {"references":["Stach, J.

Ecology. This species was collected from bat guano piles which were in dark zone with varying temperature region (DZVT) on the first floor of Jangamgul cave (Fig. 2b). The collecting sites of Jangamgul cave were usually wet during early summer season. However we collected this species in winter season with relatively low humidity, and guano was almost dry. This species was also found in guano piles of twilight zone (Fig. 2d) near 3 rd entrance of Manjanggul cave which is vertical area (Fig. 2c). The humidity and temperature of collecting site of Manjanggul cave were much higher than in Jangamgul cave. Diagnosis. Body color totally white. Head with 2 + 2 eyes. AIIIO with normal shape of 2 guards and 2 inner sensilla. Empodium filament shape without tooth. Tibiotarsus with 2 knobbed tenent hairs.Abd. I–III with a 2 chaeta. Ventral tube with 4 + 4 laterodistal chaetae. Dens with 4 + 4 chaetae. Anal spines absent. Descriptions of Korean specimens. Body length average about 1.0 mm. Antenna, head, thorax, and abdomen ratio as 1: 1.1: 1.7: 3. Body color entirely white including antenna, except for the ocular areas (Fig. 3c). Anal spines absent. Antenna segments average ratio 1: 1: 1.3: 1.7. Ant. I with 7 chaetae. Ant. IV with 4–5 blunt sensilla in the tip of Ant.

Labral chaetae typical shape as 5, 5, 4 (apical row of chaetae much stronger than other lines) with 4 prelabral chaetae. Maxillary outer lobe with terminal hair of palp (th), and 2 sublobal hairs and one basal chaeta (bs). Maxillary head shape as in Mesogastrura libyca (Caroli, 1914), with strong three toothed-like structure and 6 lamellae (Fjellberg 1998; Fig. 26D). Labial palp shape as in M. seotalensis sp. nov. with five papillae (A–E). Mandible with 4 teeth and molar plate present. Unguis without inner tooth (rarely with 1), and with 2 chaetae on basal part. Empodium chaetae-like shape (Figs 8b–d). Tibiotarsi I–III with 19 (8 on the middle, 11 on the tip) (Fig. 8b), 19 (8 on the middle, 11 on the tip) (Fig. 8c), 18 (7 on the middle, 11 on the tip) chaetae (Fig. 8d), respectively; 2 of them (A 1 and A 7) elongated, knobbed tenent hairs. Ventral tube with 4 + 4 laterodistal chaetae (Fig. 8e). Furca present; manubrium, dens, and mucro ratio as 1: 2: 2.5; dens with 4 + 4 chaetae (Fig. 8f); mucro spear head-like shaped and without tooth. Chaetotaxy. Head and body chaetotaxy similar to M. seotalensis sp. nov. (see Fig. 3a & Table 2). Distribution. Europe and South Korea. Remarks. The South Korean specimens of this species are found to be in general agreement with the description of the European specimens given by Thibaud et al. (2004), Babenko et al. (1994) and Jordana et al.
