“…This study supports Zhang et al’s (2014a, 2014b) and Zhang and Deharveng’s (2015) findings regarding the non-monophyly of Entomobryini and Willowsiini. Our phylogenetic analysis places both Willowsia nigromaculata (Lubbock) and Willowsia buski (Lubbock) within the Entomobrya clade, further supporting the paraphyly of Entomobrya .…”

“…Research concerning the systematics of these groups is limited, and most phylogenetic studies have focused on suprageneric relationships by utilizing morphology, allozymes, and/or ribosomal markers that provided limited resolution and support of generic relationships (Lee and Park 1991; Lee et al 1995; D’Haese 2002; Xiong et al 2008). However, more recent work by Zhang et al (2014b) indicated the non-monophyly of Entomobryini and Willowsiini based on molecular phylogeny. Zhang et al (2014a) also questioned the monophyly of Willowsiini.…”

The chaetotaxy of 15 species of eastern North American Entomobrya is redescribed in order to determine potential characters for the diagnosis of cryptic lineages and evaluate the diagnostic and phylogenetic utility of chaetotaxy. As a result, four new species (Entomobrya citrensis Katz & Soto-Adames, sp. n., Entomobrya jubata Katz & Soto-Adames, sp. n., Entomobrya neotenica Katz & Soto-Adames, sp. n. and Entomobrya unifasciata Katz & Soto-Adames, sp. n.) are described, and new diagnoses are provided for Entomobrya assuta Folsom, Entomobrya atrocincta Schött, Entomobrya decemfasciata (Packard), Entomobrya ligata Folsom, Entomobrya multifasciata (Tullberg), and Entomobrya quadrilineata (Bueker). Furthermore, previously undocumented levels of intraspecific variation in macrosetal pattern are reported, tempering the exclusive use of chaetotaxy for species delimitation. Phylogenetic relationships, estimated using both morphological and molecular data, indicate that Entomobrya is likely paraphyletic. The phylogenies also suggest that unreliable character homology, likely fostered by Entomobrya’s profusion of macrosetae, may limit the phylogenetic utility of chaetotaxy in groups characterized by an abundance of dorsal macrosetae.

“…Mari-Mutt (1979) stated that Dicranorchesella , which has abundant cephalic and tergal macrochaetae, is quite close to Orchesella . However, of the pointed and fusiform scales of Dicranorchesella indicate that it represents a lineage independently derived from Dicranocentrus ; its relationship with Orchesella possibly resembles that of Willowsia / Entomobrya as shown by Zhang et al (2014a, b). A systematic review and phylogeny based on larger samples would ultimately resolve the systematic position of Dicranocentrus .…”

“…None questioned the systematic position of Dicranocentrus before the work of Zhang et al (2014a), who also discussed the disputable use of secondary and unstable structures (such as number of antennal segments and number of chaetae on trochanteral organ) during development in modern taxonomy. Taking no account of antennae, Dicranocentrus shares most characters with Heteromurus : the presence of the same type of body scales, pigment reduced or scattered on the body, relatively fewer tergal macrochaetae, dental spines often present, and 3 ordinary S-chaetae on Abd.…”

Dicranocentrus liuae sp. n. is described from the northern subtropical region of China. The new species is most similar to D. wangi Ma & Chen, 2007, but differs from it in the relatively shorter Ant. V, the 1+1 central macrochaetae on Abd. III, the number of chaetae on tenaculum, and the absence of dental spines. The systematic position of Dicranocentrus is also discussed. Present evidence, particularly S-chaetotaxy, indicates that the genus is closer to Heteromurus than to the unscaled species of Orchesella and Orchesellides.

The processes of vicariance and dispersal are central to our understanding of diversification, yet determining the factors that influence these processes remains a significant challenge in evolutionary biology. Caves offer ideal systems for examining the mechanisms underlying isolation, divergence, and speciation. Intrinsic ecological differences among cavernicolous organisms, such as the degree of cave dependence, are thought to be major factors influencing patterns of genetic isolation in caves. Using a comparative phylogeographic approach, we employed mitochondrial and nuclear markers to assess the evolutionary history of two ecologically distinct groups of terrestrial cave‐dwelling springtails (Collembola) in the genera Pygmarrhopalites (Arrhopalitidae) and Pogonognathellus (Tomoceridae) that are codistributed in caves throughout the Salem Plateau—a once continuous karst region, now bisected by the Mississippi River Valley in Illinois and Missouri. Contrasting phylogeographic patterns recovered for troglobiotic Pygmarrhopalites sp. and eutroglophilic Pogonognathellus sp. suggests that obligate associations with cave habitats can restrict dispersal across major geographic barriers such as rivers and valleys, but may also facilitate subterranean dispersal between neighboring cave systems. Pygmarrhopalites sp. populations spanning the Mississippi River Valley were estimated to have diverged 2.9–4.8 Ma, which we attribute to vicariance resulting from climatic and geological processes involved in Mississippi River Valley formation beginning during the late Pliocene/early Pleistocene. Lastly, we conclude that the detection of many deeply divergent, morphologically cryptic, and microendemic lineages highlights our poor understanding of microarthropod diversity in caves and exposes potential conservation concerns.
