Frans Janssens, Department of Biology, University of Antwerp (RUCA), Antwerp, B-2020, Belgium

Abstract

A provisional edition of the checklist of Collembola (Hexapoda) from Belgium based on a literature survey is provided. The list includes the references to the original and several subsequent quotations for all 195 species from our country and a link to their distribution maps on a 10*10 km UTM grid. Missing maps will be provided as soon as possible.

Samenvatting

Deze voorlopige uitgave van de naamlijst van de Collembola (Hexapoda) van België is gebaseerd op literatuur onderzoek. De lijst omvat de referenties naar de originele en latere vermeldingen voor alle 195 soorten van ons land en koppelingen naar 10*10 UTM verspreidingskaarten.

Preamble

This article is a translation and a revision of
Janssens, F. 1996. Nomina Collembola Belgica. Antwerpse Vereniging voor Entomologie, Entomo-Info, Jaargang 7, 1996, nr 3, p.79-90.
Since the first edition, 82 new species have been added to the list.

Contineously being revised.

100 years of Belgian Springtails research

This provisional edition is based on a literature survey and does not yet take into account all our own observations.
The following publications give a short overview of the history of 100 year of Belgian Collembola research : The current provisional list contains 192 valid species and 3 undefined species.

Systematic species list

A provisional edition of the checklist of Collembola (Hexapoda) from Belgium based on a literature survey is provided. The list includes the references to the original and several subsequent quotations for all 195 species from our country and a link to their distribution maps on a 10*10 km UTM grid.
The checklist is a systematic list of valid taxon names with reference to the original authority, followed by the revision authority, if applicable. Each name follows the original orthography and mentions the original genus. The valid taxon names are ordered phylogenetically up to the rank of genus. The species valid names are ordered alphabethically within each genus. However, the references to the unidentified species are listed first. In each species, the references to the quotations are ordered chronologically, according to the traditional presentation of zoological catalogs (i.e. the name in this original spelling and combination; the cases of original invalid use of homonyms or incorrect spellings are indicated respectively by nec and sic). Synonyms, homonyms (cf. 'nec'), incorrect spellings (cf. 'sic') are ordered chronologically for each species. Whenever the original publication was verified, the page reference is mentioned following the publication date. (cf. 'yyyy:pp'; e.g. '1902:8'). In case the genus was not explicitly mentioned in the referenced publication, it is indicated by '...'. Publication dates are not always mentioned in such case.

A preliminary distribution map is provided for each species. The maps record the presence of all species in a 10 x 10 km UTM grid. Records published before 1950 are indicated with open symbols, records published after 1950 are indicated with solid symbols.
The maps are produced with the mapping module of the modular software package Inventar 1.3, intended to keep track of data collected by nature monitoring projects and data of collections of natural objects. Inventar is developed by Jan de Boer and it is distributed by Mistletoe Information, Maastricht, the Netherlands.
Click on the species name to open the associated species distribution map. Note that the available distribution data is rather sparse for most species and that several records can be added still.

    Discussion

    Chen & Christiansen (1997) consider European records of Sinella caeca as records of the widespread Sinella tenebricosa.

    We thank Wim Jacobs for his contribution based on his unpublished thesis. We thank Peter Bellinger for reviewing the species list. Especially for pointing out the problematic issue of the European records of Sinella caeca versus Sinella tenebricosa. We thank Jean-François Ponge for providing a species list from beech forests of the Belgian Ardennes. We thank Michel Dethier for the provisional catalogue (including addenda & corrigenda) of the Delhez Collection, for providing additional locality data and for providing additional papers on Belgian cave Collembola.
