Abstract:A new species of Xenylla Tullberg, 1869, X. capixaba sp. nov., is described and illustrated. In addition, we present a list with new records of Poduromorpha from the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Xenylla yucatana Mills, 1938 and Brachystomella platensis Najt & Massoud, 1974 are for the first time recorded in Brazil. Also, the distributions of B. ceciliae Fernandes & Mendonça, 2004, B. contorta Denis, 1931 and Arlesia albipes (Folsom, 1927) are expanded to include Espírito Santo. Brachystomella agrosa Wray, … Show more
“…The collembolan fauna, in the southeastern Brazil, has been investigated by several authors in the last decades (Abrantes 2012). From Espírito Santo state only six species were described (Queiroz and Deharveng 2008;Fernandes and Mendonça 2010;Queiroz and Mendonça 2010;Queiroz and Fernandes 2011;Queiroz and Weiner 2011) and 27 species were recorded (Arlé 1939(Arlé , 1981Thibaud and Palacios-Vargas 1999;Potapov and Culik 2002;Culik et al 2006;Fernandes and Mendonça 2010). The range of this species with distance about 320 km from its type locality ( Figure 3) expands its distribution and configures the first record of this genus for the Espírito Santo state.…”
Dicranocentrus heloisae is an easily recognized species by color pattern. It was described from the “Parque Nacional da Tijuca” and its distribution was previously restricted to Tijuca Forest, located in Rio de Janeiro State. Here we report the second record for the specie with distance about 320 km from its type locality and first record of the genus in the Espírito Santo state.

“…Xenylla capixaba é endêmica do Brasil, ocorrendo apenas no Espírito Santo, no município de Guarapari, no Parque Estadual Paulo César Vinha(Fernandes & Mendonça, 2010). Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade -ICMBio Processo de Avaliação do Risco de Extinção da Fauna Brasileira Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade -ICMBio Processo de Avaliação do Risco de Extinção da Fauna Brasileira em lista nacional oficial de espécies ameaçadas de extinção?…”
Xenylla capixaba é endêmica do Brasil, ocorrendo apenas no Espírito Santo, inclusive em unidade de conservação. Não são conhecidas ameaças à espécie. Por isso, X. capixaba foi categorizada como Menos Preocupante (LC).
