AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES Number 3862, 47 pp. June 30, 2016 Springtails from the Early Cretaceous Amber of Spain (Collembola: Entomobryomorpha), with an Annotated Checklist of Fossil Collembola ALBA SANCHEZ-GARCIA 1 AND MICHAEL S. ENGEL 2 ABSTRACT Entomobryomorphan springtails (Hexapoda: Entognatha: Collembola) of the family Iso- tomidae are the most numerous group of Collembola in Spanish amber, a pattern typical in other studied Cretaceous amber deposits. Here we provide a revision of the Spanish amber springtail fauna, Early Cretaceous (Late Albian) in age, based on 93 specimens sufficiently well preserved to permit specific identification. Three new species are erected within the Isotomidae: Anurophorinae. These are: Burmisotoma spinulifera, new species, Protoisotoma autrigoniensis, new species, and Proisotoma communis, new species. The two former are respectively placed in the Cretaceous genera Burmisotoma Christiansen and Nascimbene (previously known from Cenomanian Burmese amber) and Protoisotoma Christiansen and Pike (in both Burmese and Canadian ambers), while the last species is indistinguishable from the extant, cosmopolitan genus Proisotoma Borner (also recorded in Burmese amber). Low morphological intraspecific variability is described for P. communis. Taxa are discussed in relation to other fossil entomo¬ bryomorphan lineages as well as their modern counterparts. A catalog of the known fossil springtails is appended. Isotomidae are diverse springtails, putatively basal among Entomobryo¬ morpha and extending back into the Early Devonian. Indeed, taxa described herein are overall remarkably similar to their extant relatives, emphasizing the antiquity and morphological stasis of the group as a whole. 1 Departament de Dinamica de la Terra i de l’Ocea and Institut de Recerca de la Biodiversitat (IRBio), Facultat de Geologia, Universitat de Barcelona, Spain. 2 Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History; and Division of Entomology, Natu¬ ral History Museum, and Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, Lawrence. Copyright © American Museum of Natural History 2016 ISSN 0003-0082 2 AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES NO. 3862 INTRODUCTION The springtail family Isotomidae is one of the most diverse in the collembolan order Ento- mobryomorpha, presently comprising about 1346 species in 108 genera (Janssens and Chris¬ tiansen, 2011). Isotomids are rather generalized springtails and are usually the most common component of most collembolan communities. Species of the family are abundant in varied kinds of litter, soil, and moss and in all types of undisturbed ecosystems ranging from deserts to polar regions, although they are more numerous in damp and cold conditions (Hopkin, 1997). Together with Hypogastruridae (Poduromorpha), species of Isotomidae comprise the primary component of high-arctic and nival springtail communities (e.g., Christiansen, 1964; Greenslade, 1995; Hopkin, 1997; Babenko, 2000; Stevens et al., 2006b), with some demonstrat¬ ing considerable activity on snow and ice (Leinaas, 1981; Hagvar and Hagvar, 2011), leading to their moniker as “snow fleas.” In sharp contrast, some genera can tolerate the dry conditions of exposed microhabitats, such as tree trunks and rocks, or survive the aridity and high tem¬ peratures of xeric regions, although none are truly “xerophilic” (Cassagnau, 1961; Christiansen, 1964; Greenslade, 1981; Somme, 1995). Isotomids can also be diverse in sandy soils (Thibaud and Christian, 1997), even thriving within the hot and humid soils of compost heaps where some species may form large aggregations (Hopkin, 1997). Neustonic forms may similarily be found in a wide variety of microhabitats, from the sea littoral zone, to the banks of lakes and large rivers, well within bogs, or even along cold-water mountain streams (Potapov, 2001; Deharveng et al., 2008). Lastly, many species are truly euedaphic, moving through sand or deep soil layers (e.g., Pseudanurophorus Stach, Jesenikia Rusek) (Potapov, 2001). This vast ecological breadth has allowed isotomids to flourish in virtually all areas of the world, and their distribu¬ tion is truly cosmopolitan with the exception of some equatorial areas in Africa, although this may merely reflect a lack of suitable sampling. Given the preceding, that springtails are vital to most soil biotas and food webs (Peterson and Luxton, 1982; Hopkin, 1997; Rusek, 1998; Hat- tenschwiler et al., 2005; Whalen and Sampedro, 2010), and the fact that a variety of their morphological traits are intimately tied to their ecological preferences (Christiansen, 1964; Hopkin, 1997), Collembola have the potential to be critical in reconstructing localized palaeo- faunal conditions. Isotomidae have also been the subject of considerable taxonomic investiga¬ tion, the earliest significant one being the posthumously published monograph of Folsom (1937a), a work that treated the Nearctic fauna and provided a general foundation for future endeavors. Stach (1947) modified the familial classification based on his study of the Polish fauna, and this was expanded by the works of Deharveng (e.g., Deharveng, 1977), and ulti¬ mately by Potapov (2001) in his comprehensive overview of the Paleartic Isotomidae. Not surprisingly, given their minute size, the fossil record of springtails is largely confined to preservation in amber, in which organisms hold the potential to fossilize with lifelike fidelity. Aside from a few exceptions, this bias effectively restricts their geological occurrence to the Cretaceous and later as it is from this period onward that suitably fossiliferous ambers are known (Grimaldi and Engel, 2005). Isotomidae are the most abundant and common of spring- tails in Cretaceous ambers, accounting for more than half of all specimens in Canadian amber and more than a third of all those in Burmese amber (Christiansen and Nascimbene, 2006). Isotomidae are also of considerable antiquity, with the Early Devonian Rhyniella praecursor 2016 SANCHEZ-GARCiA & ENGEL: CRETACEOUS AMBER SPRINGTAILS 3 Hirst and Maulik (1926) presently placed therein (Greenslade and Whalley, 1986), although its familial attribution has shifted from Rhyniellidae (Paclt, 1956), to Neanuridae (Massoud, 1967a), to Protentomobryidae (Scourfield, 1940a, 1940b). Remarkably, the putatively extinct family Protentomobryidae (Folsom, 1937b), in which once R. praecursor was placed, is almost assuredly a synonym of Isotomidae (Greenslade and Whalley, 1986), particularly as it is sepa¬ rated from isotomids merely by a single autapomorphy (Delamare-Deboutteville and Massoud, 1968; Christiansen and Pike, 2002a). Interestingly, although Isotomidae are seemingly very ancient, a few phylogenetic studies have suggested the family to be relatively derived among Entomobryomorpha (D’Haese, 2002, 2003a), although this pattern was reversed in the studies of Xiong et al. (2008) and Schneider et al. (2011), with isotomids basal within the order—a placement more intuitively pleasing given their stratigraphic span. Here we document an Early Cretaceous fauna of isotomid springtails preserved in amber from Burgos Province, northern Spain, and as a companion work to a similar study of the Symphypleona of these same deposits (Sanchez-Garcia and Engel, 2016). Although presently Isotomidae are not as diverse in Spanish amber as in Burmese amber (Christiansen and Nas- cimbene, 2006), their diversity is significant as it is currently the earliest documented from the Mesozoic. Moreover, in contrast to those putative isotomids from the Devonian and Permian, the Spanish amber springtail fauna is the oldest with sufficient preservation to allow a critical comparison with other faunas and allow for inferences regarding the general habitat in which the amber was exuded. Entomobryomorphan diversity will certainly rise in Spanish amber as new material becomes available from the El Soplao and San Just outcrops. To this treatment we append a catalog of the known fossil and subfossil records of springtails (Appendix). MATERIAL AND METHODS The present revision considers the fauna of Entomobryomorphan springtails preserved in Early Cretaceous amber from Spain, complementing the earlier overview of Collembola from these deposits by Simon-Benito et al. (2002). Preparation, photography, and imaging of the amber and its inclusions followed the procedures outlined by Sanchez-Garcia and Engel (2016), which started with initial screening of pieces for biotic inclusions followed by vacuum-embedding in a stable epoxy resin (Epo-tek 301) (Nascimbene and Silverstein, 2000). The embedded amber was then suitable for trimming, grinding, and polishing using a water-fed flat lap. Given the minute propor¬ tions of springtails, thin sections of amber were required (epoxy preparations typically between 1.0-4.5 mm thickness, and, when possible, with the inclusion merely microns beneath the amber surface). In order to best visualize details such as setae, integument, and structure of the furcula and tibiotarsal complex, some preparations were positioned between a glass microscope slide and glass coverslip held in place by a thin layer of synthetic resin. Such slide preparations allowed for greater clarity and resolution of individual structures. Inclusions were studied with Motic BA310 and Olympus BX41 compound microscopes, and measurements were taken with the ImageJ soft¬ ware package and recorded in micrometers. Total body length measurements were taken along the midline from the tip of the head to the apex of the abdomen. Microphotographs were taken with a Moticam 2500 digital camera attached to the Motic BA310 compound microscope and per- 4 AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES NO. 3862 formed in Motic Images Plus 2.0 software at the Universitat de Barcelona. The software package Helicon Focus was used to combine different focal layers. Line drawings were prepared with the aid of a camera lucida attached to the Olympus BX41 compound microscope at the University of Kansas. For the systematic work, the higher classifications of Folsom (1937a), Potapov (2001), and Soto-Adames et al. (2008), are followed, and morphological terminology for the descriptions is generally based on Potapov (2001), Fjellberg (2007), and as modified by Sanchez-Garda and Engel (2016), with descriptions provided in the context of expanding upon evolutionary patterns (e.g., Grimaldi and Engel, 2007). All material is deposited in the Museo de Ciencias Naturales de Alava, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Alava, Spain, abbreviated as MCNA herein. The geological setting was summarized by Penalver and Delclos (2010), and is only briefly outlined here. The amber discussed here and in an earlier paper on Symphypleona (Sanchez- Garda and Engel, 2016), comes from the Penacerrada I locality in the municipality of Moraza (Burgos Province, northern Spain), while a sister locality, named Penacerrada II, is present in the municipality of Penacerrada (in the neighboring Alava Province). Both outcrops are Late Albian in age (Barron et al., 2015), and take part of the Utrillas Group within the Basque-Cantabrian Basin. These deposits represent deltaic systems dominated by fluvial-deltaic environments with siliclastic input (Martinez-Torres et al., 2003). Within this framework, resin was deposited in paralic environments, as amber is today found within lignitic beds or organically-rich marls, pres¬ ent at the top of filling sequences of channels within deltas, coinciding with the boundary between maximum regression and the start of transgression (Penalver and Delclos, 2010). Cretaceous amber localities in Spain are today geographically arranged following an arc from north to east of the Iberian Peninsula that corresponds to the Early Cretaceous seashore (Delclos et al., 2007). To date, aside from the isotomid springtails discussed here, the amber from Penacerrada I has produced thousands of arthropod inclusions representing virtually all orders of Hexa- poda, numerous groups of Arachnida, principally mites and spiders, and certain lineages of Crustacea (e.g., Alonso et al., 2000; Delclos et al., 2007; Penalver and Delclos, 2010; Sanchez- Garda et al., 2015), making it one of the most important Early Cretaceous Lagerstatten. SYSTEMATIC PALEONTOLOGY Class Collembola Lubbock, 1870 Order Entomobryomorpha Borner, 1913 Superfamily Isotomoidea Schaffer, 1896 Family Isotomidae Schaffer, 1896 Subfamily Anurophorinae Borner, 1901 (sensu Potapov, 2001) Following the concept of Isotomidae as outlined by Folsom (1937a) and Potapov (2001), as well as the last suprageneric classification of Entomobryomorpha by Soto-Adames et al. (2008; whose treatment of Isotomidae followed Potapov, 2001), all the entomobryomorphan springtails from the Spanish Cretaceous amber are assignable to Isotomidae. Collectively, this is based on: 1, the absence of scales, trochanteral organs, and postocular trichobothria; 2, the relatively short 2016 SANCHEZ-GARCiA & ENGEL: CRETACEOUS AMBER SPRINGTAILS 5 antennae, with four antennomeres; 3, the fourth abdominal segment usually subequal to or longer than the third (erroneously cited as “shorter than the third” in Soto-Adames et al., 2008), with one never more than one and one-half times as long as the other; 4, the last two or three abdomi¬ nal segments sometimes fused (e.g., in Folsomia Willem, Folsomina Denis, and Pectenisotoma Gruia); 5, trichobothria usually absent; and, 6, a general covering of simple setae, the largest of which are often serrate or fringed, but never clavate or fringed on all margins. In addition, Folsom (1937a) also considered the following characters as diagnostic for Isotomidae: 1, prothorax mem¬ branous and without setae (except in Guthriella Borner); 2, mesothorax not projecting over the head; 3, postantennal organs almost invariably present, each consisting externally of a simple tubercle; 4, pretarsi with an unguis and sometimes an unguiculus; 5, inner edge of unguis always simple, never basally split or doubled; 6, furcula present (except in Anurophorus Nicolet and its allies); 7, manubrium with setae, seldom bare ventrally; and, 8, integument generally smooth and with distinct sclerites, except in some taxa in which it can be tuberculate and with less distinctive sclerites. Most of the characters utilized by Potapov (2001) in his system are related to chaetotaxy. The present samples share with his characterization the absence of dorsal prothoracic setae, the body covered with abundant setae (i.e., polychaetotic), and a weak morphological chaetotaxic differentiation expressed by the plesiomorphic condition of two features: a weak differentiation of chaetalike components, and uniformity of the chaetotaxy of body segments. Isotomidae are organized into three subfamilies: Isotominae Schaffer, 1896, Anurophorinae Borner, 1901, and Pachyotominae Potapov, 2001 (Potapov, 2001). The three species erected below can be placed among the Anurophorinae owing to the combination of: 1, absence of secondary granulation over the body; 2, chaetotaxy oligo- to polychaetotic; 3, empodium sometimes reduced or outright lacking; 4, tibiotarsi with seven setae in the distal ring; 5, manubrium with or without a few anterior setae; 6, well-developed dens that is continuously narrowed apically, with its posterior side crenulate or tuberculate; and 7, mucro, if present, usually bidentate. Anal spines may or may not be present among anurophorine taxa. As will be observed from the descriptions below, all the addressed genera have a combination of traits that best suits the Anurophorinae and are, in fact, close to the extant genus Proisotoma Borner (with one new species placed within that particular genus). Genus Burmisotoma Christiansen and Nascimbene, 2006 Burmisotoma Christiansen and Nascimbene, 2006: 340. Type species: Burmisotoma lamellifera Chris¬ tiansen and Nascimbene, 2006, by original designation. Burmisotoma spinulifera, new species Figures 1-2 Diagnosis: Aside from the general traits of the genus (outlined by Christiansen and Nas¬ cimbene, 2006), the new species differs from the type species ( Burmisotoma lamellifera Chris¬ tiansen and Nascimbene) by the presence of a long, thick, and straight femoral spine, as well as a ventrally crenulate manubrium. 6 AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES NO. 3862 Description: Total body length as preserved 473 pm. Body slender, thickened in pos¬ terior half, of typical isotomid shape. Dorsal integument with distinct, fine reticulation; all body setae smooth. Head length as preserved 122 pm, about 0.26x length of body; covered largely with sparse, somewhat curved, slender setae; antennae with four antennomeres; fourth antennomere not swollen, densely setaceous, with slender, mostly weakly curved, acuminate, long setae, accom¬ panied by some thick, truncate, cylindrical, long setae on apical half of antennomere; first to third antennomeres mostly obscured preventing measurements. Ommatidia not visible. Post- antennal organ not visible (likely not present). Thorax highly distorted, maximum width 87 pm, without visible setae; prothoracic seg¬ ment membranous; meso- and metathoracic segments subequal in length. Legs with trochanter poorly visible, with a few short, weakly curved, acuminate setae; femur length 33 pm, bearing a thick and straight spine, about as long as femoral diameter; tibiotarsus length 43 pm, with several slender setae, setae apparently not clavate nor truncate; unguis and unguiculus not clearly visible, apparently simple, without serration or denticles; unguis length 23 pm, acuminate. Abdomen swollen and somewhat ovoid, maximum width 153 pm, distinctly wider than thorax, with sparse, straight to somewhat curved, slender setae, such setae becoming longer and more numerous posteriorly; abdominal segments not fused; third and fourth abdominal segments subequal in length, fourth segment only slightly longer than third segment; lengths of abdominal segments III-VI in pm, approximately: III, 43; IV, 49; V, 27; VI, 20. Length, exclusive of appendages 107 pm. Furcula long and slender (visible in lateral view); manubrium length 36 pm, ventrally crenulate, without visible setae; dens length 84 pm, tapering distally, without visible setae; mucro poorly visible, apparently bidentate. Holotype: MCNA 12583 (fig. 1), virtually complete, visible dorsally, ventrally, and later¬ ally. Preserved in a clear-yellow, turbid piece of amber trimmed to 1.05 x 0.80 x 0.05 cm (set into an epoxy trapezoid of dimensions 2.10x 1.20x0.10 cm), and included with fungal hyphae, and many arthropod (e.g., scales) and plant remains (e.g., stellate hairs). Occurrence: Penacerrada I amber site (Penacerrada I = Moraza), Utrillas Group, eastern area of the Basque-Cantabrian Basin, Burgos, northern Spain; Early Cretaceous (Late Albian). Etymology: The specific epithet is from the Latin spinula (meaning, “small spine”) and fero (meaning, “bear” or “carry”), and refers to the femoral spine distinctive of the species. Remarks: The genus Burmisotoma was described originally from a single specimen in mid-Cretaceous amber from Myanmar (Burma). Burmisotoma spinulifera, n. sp., shares with the type species, B. lamellifera, a well-developed furcula lacking ventral manubrial setae, strongly tapered dentes, and the antennae bearing stout, cylindrical, truncate setae. Unfortu¬ nately, the ommatidia, details of the setae and tubercles of the dens, and the morphology of the mucrones were not clearly visible in B. lamellifera , preventing comparison of these structures with the present specimen. In the new species, the body shape (slender and thickened in the posterior half), general chaetotaxy of the body, antennal structure, and the tarsal complex are all very similar to B. lamellifera as illustrated by Christiansen and Nascimbene (2006); there- 2016 SANCHEZ-GARClA & ENGEL: CRETACEOUS AMBER SPRINGTAILS 7 FIGURE 1.

However, B. spinulifera is remarkable in having a thick and straight femoral spine (fig. 2), and a ventrally crenulate manubrium. The dorsal reticulation of the integument is also distinctive of the new species. These features are, however, merely autapomorphic and the establishment of a separate genus based on these comparatively minor differences would serve only to proliferate the number of monospecific genera for otherwise quite similar Cretaceous springtails. Genus Protoisotoma Christiansen and Pike, 2002a Protoisotoma Christiansen and Pike, 2002a: 171. Type species: Protoisotoma micromucra Christiansen and Pike, 2002a, by original designation. Protoisotoma autrigoniensis , new species Figures 3-4 Diagnosis: The new species agrees with the characters of the genus (as outlined by Chris¬ tiansen and Pike, 2002a), but differs from its congeners by the longer third antennomere that is subequal to the fourth antennomere, and the fourth abdominal segment being subequal to or slightly longer than the third segment. Description (based on holotype): Total body length as preserved 1273 pm. Body slender, not thickened in posterior half, about 5.12x as long as wide, of typical isotomid shape. Dorsal integument smooth; all body setae smooth. Head length as preserved 192 pm, about 0.15x length of body, largely with long, somewhat curved, slender setae; antennae with four antennomeres; fourth antennomere swollen, length 107 pm, with a few slender, mostly weakly curved and acuminate, short setae; third antennomere about as long as fourth; first and second antennomeres mostly obscured by head, preventing measurements. Ommatidia not visible. Postantennal organ not visible (perhaps not present). Thorax length 335 pm, about 0.26x length of body, maximum width 235 pm; prothoracic segment indistinct; meso- and metathoracic segments subequal in length; segments densely covered with short, straight to somewhat curved, slender setae. 2016 SANCHEZ-GARCIA & ENGEL: CRETACEOUS AMBER SPRINGTAILS 9 FIGURE 3. Microphotograph in dorsal habitus of the holotype (MCNA 12788.2) of Protoisotoma autrigo- niensis, new species, in Late Albian amber from northern Spain (images combining consecutive photographs taken at successive focal planes). Legs poorly visible except for protibiotarsus: tibiotarsus length 109 pm, with a few short, weakly curved, acuminate setae, apparently not clavate nor truncate; unguis simple, without serration or denticles, relatively long, length 58 pm, nearly straight and acuminate; unguiculus simple, half length of unguis (26 pm), nearly straight and acuminate. Abdomen length 749 pm, about 0.59x length of body, not swollen, maximum width 255 pm, only slightly wider than thorax; abdominal segments not fused; third and fourth abdomi¬ nal segments subequal in length, fourth segment only slightly longer than third segment; lengths of abdominal segments III-VI in pm, approximately: III, 187; IV, 200; V, 76; VI, 43. Abdominal segments densely covered with short, straight to somewhat curved, slender setae, as well as some long, erect pseudotrichobothria. Furcula appressed against body (and therefore poorly visible); manubrium without visible setae; dens long and slender, without visible setae; mucro minute, poorly visible. Holotype: MCNA 12788.2 (fig. 3), virtually complete, visible dorsally and ventrally. Pre¬ served in a clear-yellow, turbid piece of amber trimmed to 1.00 x 0.90 x 0.10 cm (set into an epoxy trapezoid of dimensions 2.20 x 1.50 x 0.20 cm), and accompanied by much debris and arthropod remains (e.g., scales). Syninclusions include three acari and the holotype of the symphypleonan Pseudosminthurides stoechus Sanchez-Garcia and Engel (2016). Inclusions in piece MCNA 12788 and a further springtail plus three acari in piece MCNA 12787 were origi¬ nally part of a single piece of amber that was divided into two fragments for optimal study. Additional material: MCNA 12787.1, virtually complete, visible in profile, with black¬ ened cuticle somewhat altered due to fossilization; preserved in a clear-yellow, turbid piece of amber trimmed to 1.30 x 0.70 x 0.10 cm (set into an epoxy trapezoid of dimensions 2.80 x 10 AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES NO. 3862 1.80 x 0.10 cm), with syninclusions as detailed for MCNA 12788.2. This specimen agrees in most respects with the holotype but is noticeably smaller (total length 809 pm) and exhibits at least two pairs of anal spines. The shared shape of the furcula, antennae, and chaetotaxy of the body, as well as its preservation as syninclusion with the holotype, all make it seem likely that they represent the same taxon, but this remains unresolved, particularly as the anal spines can¬ not be discerned in the holotype (owing to its state of preservation). Occurrence: Penacerrada I amber site (Penacerrada I = Moraza), Utrillas Group, eastern area of the Basque-Cantabrian Basin, Burgos, northern Spain; Early Cretaceous (Late Albian). Etymology: The specific epithet is based on the region of Autrigonia, home of the pre- Roman Autrigones who lived in the area of the type locality before their eventual integration into the Empire. Remarks: Overall, this species exhibits all those traits characteristic of the genus Protoisotoma , previously described from species preserved in Cretaceous Canadian and Burmese ambers (Chris¬ tiansen and Pike, 2002a, 2002b; Christiansen and Nascimbene, 2006). Distinguishing features within the subfamily include the swollen fourth antennomere, simple ungues and unguiculi, elongate dentes, minute mucrones, and a body densely covered with curved, acuminate, smooth setae as well as erect pseudotrichobothria on the abdomen. Unfortunately, the postantennal organ, ommatidia, and details of the furcula cannot be seen, preventing more extensive comparison. Although the dens is elongate in P. autrigoniensis, n. sp., no crenulation or setae are visible owing to the nature of preservation of the type. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners ( P. micromucra Christiansen and Pike from Canadian amber, and P. burma Christiansen and Nascimbene from Burmese amber) by its longer third antennomere, which is subequal to the fourth, and the fourth abdominal segment subequal to or slightly longer than the third abdominal segment (rather than the subequal or shorter fourth abdominal segment relative to the third abdominal segment in P. micromucra and P. burma ) (fig. 4). It is remarkable that the other putative specimen of this species, MCNA 12787.1, exhibits two pairs of anal spines, a feature not observed in all other specimens of Protoisotoma from Burmese and Canada ambers (this is not a statement of the characters absence from such specimens, merely a condition of it not being observable in such specimens owing to the nature of preservation). Genus Proisotoma Borner, 1901 Proisotoma Borner, 1901: 133. Type species: Isotoma minuta Tullberg, 1871, subsequent designation by Borner (1903). Refer to Potapov (2001) and Potapov et al.

Camera lucida drawing of the holotype (MCNA 12788.2) of Protoisotoma autrigoniensis, new spe¬ cies, in dorsal habitus. Diagnosis: The new species has characteristics of the genus and differs from its congeners by the greatly swollen fourth antennomere; the fourth abdominal segment one and a half times the length of the third; the absence of clavate tibiotarsal setae; the simple ungues and unguiculi; the rather slender and elongate dens that is dorsally tuberculate and ventrally bearing thick setae arranged in pairs; and the small, bidentate mucro. Description (largely based on the type series): Total body length highly variable; body length of holotype 539 pm; body length of paratypes 514-560 pm. Body slender, not thickened in posterior half, about 4.82x as long as wide, of typical isotomid shape. Dorsal integument smooth; all body setae smooth.

Occurrence: Penacerrada I amber site (Penacerrada I = Moraza), Utrillas Group, eastern area of the Basque-Cantabrian Basin, Burgos, northern Spain; Early Cretaceous (Late Albian). Etymology: The specific epithet is taken from the Latin communis, meaning “common” or “universal,” and refers to the abundance of this species in Spanish amber. Remarks: The historical concept of the genus Proisotoma, as conceived by Gisin (1960), Fjellberg (1980), and others, has recently undergone significant revision, with many species reallocated to other genera (Potapov, 2001; Potapov et al., 2006, 2009). The group has been subdivided at times into different subgenera, which are often raised to generic status (Chris¬ tiansen and Nascimbene, 2006; Potapov et al., 2006). Following Potapov (2001), the genus Proisotoma has generally been defined as containing all species of Isotomidae with: 1, a normal 16 AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES NO. 3862 or slender habitus, ranging from rather small to large; 2, a sometimes weakly reticulate or wrinkled integument lacking secondary granulation; 3, ommatidia present; 4, antennae bearing a postantennal organ, but lacking an apical bulb; 5, empodia present; 6, clavate tibiotarsal setae present or absent; 7„ abdominal segments IV, V, and VI separate, and lacking anal spines; 8, a fully developed furcula, with the mucro separated from the dens; 9, a manubrium with a few setae on the anterior surface; 10, a usually stout dens, sometimes rather slender, crenulate, and continuously narrowed; 11, a mucro bi- or tridentate, without seta, and sometimes with lamel¬ lae; 12, setae usually short, macrosetae differentiated at least on the apicalmost abdominal segments; and, 13, ventromedial setae of the thorax present or absent. The genus Proisotoma makes up 96% approximately of all the entomobryomorphans, and 87% of the whole collembolan record in Spanish amber. It is remarkable that, in spite of the great number of specimens, not a single individual displayed all the characters of the genus and species clearly, likely owing to the darkness and frequent debris in Spanish amber as well as the often dessicated nature of many specimens. Overall, the new species is distinguished by the morphol¬ ogy of the antennae and dens (the latter with characteristic chaetotaxy and tubercles), the small and bidentate mucro, simple ungues and unguiculi, and the relative proportions of the third and fourth abdominal segments (fig. 6). The number of ommatidia cannot be established exactly although at least four have been observed in some specimens. Intraspecific variability in these characters is low, and that variation observed mainly concerns the relative size of specimens. Simon-Benito et al. (2002) described some of the specimens of P. communis, n. sp., as belonging to five genera in three families (see table 1): Onychiurus Gervais (Poduromorpha: Onychiuridae), Micranurida Borner (Poduromorpha: Neanuridae), and Anurophorus, Crypto- pygus Willem, and Proisotoma (Entomobryomorpha: Isotomidae). However, after repreparing all the amber samples and examining further specimens of P. communis (not examined by Simon-Benito et al., 2002), it was revealed that they correspond to the same morphotype. Moreover, after suitable preparation it is clear that some structures of this species were not observed or were misinterpreted by Simon-Benito et al. (2002), accounting for their broad misidentifications. Their assignment of some specimens to the Poduromorpha (D’Haese, 2003b) (genera Onychiurus and Micranurida) clearly was unsupported based on numerous traits, most notably: 1, the greatly reduced prothorax that never bears setae (instead of well developed and bearing dorsal setae in the Poduromorpha); and, 2, the fourth abdominal seg¬ ment generally longer than the third segment (instead of subequal in size in the Poduromor¬ pha). Specimen MCNA 9162, classified as “Onychiurus sp.” by Simon-Benito et al. (2002), was briefly described as lacking a furcula when in fact a well-developed furcula showing details of setae and tubercles is actually present. In other cases, such as the three specimens classified as “Anurophorus sp.” by Simon-Benito et al. (2002) (one specimen in MCNA 10070, and two specimens in 10071), the inability to discern a furcula is due to the position of the specimens as fossilized rather than a real absence. While the lateral profile, observable in some specimens, appears to be ideal for seeing the furcula, even when it is appressed to the body, the structure is often not visible in some of the dorsoventrally exposed individuals. Apart from the absence of the furcula, the extant genus Anurophorus is diagnosed by the presence of an apical bulb on antennomere IV (Potapov, 2001), which is absent in P. communis.

Remarkably, the separation of Cryptopygus and Proisotoma is far from clear, and Cryptopygus are mainly differentiated from the latter only by the fusion of abdominal seg¬ ments V and VI (Linnaniemi, 1912; Gisin, 1944; Palissa, 1964), and the genus as a whole is assuredly composed of various unrelated lineages (e.g., Rusek, 2002; Stevens et al., 2006a). Some authors rely on putative differences in the morphology of the dens, with those of Cryp¬ topygus long and slender, rather than the shorter and stouter form found in Proisotoma (Stach, 1947; Gisin, 1960; Fjellberg, 1980). Proisotoma communis is the only known species of Cretaceous Spanish Collembola ascrib- able to an extant genus. Interestingly, the genus is also known in Burmese and Canadian ambers (Christiansen and Pike, 2002a; Christiansen and Nascimbene, 2006), and as noted by those authors, it is possible that if finer details of the sensory structures were discernible, then the Cretaceous representatives might better be classified in a separate genus. However, in the absence of such data we have adopted the conservative position of considering them conge¬ neric. Despite this, extant genera are not unheard of from Cretaceous ambers. Mesozoic rep¬ resentatives of still-surviving hexapod genera include examples from among the rove and bark beetles (Cognato and Grimaldi, 2008; Chatzimanolis et al., 2013), zorapterans (Engel and 18 AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES NO. 3862 Grimaldi, 2002), biting midges (Borkent, 2001; Szadziewski and Arillo, 2003; Perez-de la Fuente et al., 2011), among others. Perhaps the most remarkable example is the genus Alavesia Waters and Arillo, originally described from fossils in Spanish amber (Waters and Arillo, 1999; Penal - ver and Arillo, 2007) and then recorded in Burmese amber (Grimaldi et al., 2002), which was recently discovered alive and well in Namibia, southern Africa (Sinclair and Kirk-Spriggs, 2010). Such bradytely is likely attributable to the conservatism and long-term consistency of their microhabitat preferences. Genus and Species Indeterminate Figure 7 Entomobryomorpha form 1 (fig. 7): Specimen MCNA 9560 is preserved in a piece of clear yellow amber trimmed to 0.90 x 0.50 x 0.05 cm (in an epoxy trapezoid of dimensions 2.15 x 1.30 x 0.10 cm), and without syninclusions. The specimen is observable laterally as well as dorsally and ventrally, but not much more than an external profile is visible, preventing suitable comparison. Nonetheless, the morphology of the antennae and legs correspond to a morpho- type distinct from those described above. The body length as preserved is 407 pm. The head shape is cylindrical, distinctly narrower than the body, and 79 pm in length as preserved. The well-preserved antennae are slightly longer than the head, with four antennomeres; the first and fourth antennomeres are subequal in length; the second and third antennomeres are sub¬ equal in length, together not reaching the length of the first or fourth antennal segments; the fourth antennomere is slightly swollen, with a few slender, short, mostly weakly curved and acuminate setae; the antennomere lengths in pm are approximately: IV, 32; III, 11; II, 10; I, 30. The tibiotarsus and femur are subequal in length, and the trochanter is distinctly longer and inflated; some slender setae, apparently not clavate or truncate, are visible distally on the tib¬ iotarsus, and although the unguis and unguiculus are not clear, they are apparently simple, without teeth, very short, and acuminate. Other features cannot be seen because of the poor state of preservation of this specimen. Hopefully further, more finely preserved, material will be discovered at a later date and permit a full characterization and identification of this form. DISCUSSION The main challenge for any study of fossil Collembola, and even more so for entomobryo- morphans, is the comparatively low number of specific characters that are observable. The diminutive size of the inclusions, and their frequent dessicated state within the amber, hinders the visualization of even chaetotaxonomic traits unless preparations are exceedingly thin and the amber is relatively clear. Unfortunately, the amber in which many of the springtails are preserved is frequently turbid, darkly colored (possibly as a result of contact with litter), or has ill-positioned bubbles that prevent an optimal view of some structures. Despite these hurdles, diagnostic characters based on the general shape of the body and proportions of segments, morphology of the antennae and furculae, and especially chaetotaxy are possible to discern, 2016 SANCHEZ-GARCIA & ENGEL: CRETACEOUS AMBER SPRINGTAILS 19 FIGURE 7. Microphotograph in dorsal habitus of specimen MCNA 9560 (Entomobryomorpha form 1) (image combining consecutive photographs taken at successive focal planes). albeit not universally. In spite of these limitations, nonetheless it is possible to make remarkably robust comparisons between amber entomobryomorphans and, to some extent, between them and their living relatives as well. Perhaps not surprisingly, there are similarities in the generic composition of the Spanish and Burmese amber faunas of Entomobryomorpha, with all three genera discussed herein present in each deposit (Christiansen and Nascimbene, 2006). Such similarities are not uncommon for these ambers. For example, there are various genera of stigmaphronid and mymarommatoid wasps (Ortega-Blanco et al., 2011a, 2011b) and chimeromyiid and tethepomyiid flies (Grimaldi et al., 2009,2011) shared between Spanish and Burmese amber, and sometimes also with Lebanese and Canadian amber. Christiansen and Nascimbene (2006) speculated that Protoisotoma were wide¬ spread during the Cretaceous, and this is borne out by the discovery of a further species in Span¬ ish amber. Although, these authors indicated that Protoisotoma were closely related to various austral genera, such a relationship is entirely speculative and in the absence of a phylogenetic analysis of living and fossil Anurophorinae there is little evidence to support their conclusion that the genus was more widespread than its Tertiary and modern counterparts (Christiansen and Nascimbene, 2006). The genus Protoisotoma is widespread, but so are other modern genera, and while some do have more restrictive distributions, a cladistic relationship between those clades 20 AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES NO. 3862 and Protoisotoma has not been established. Protoisotoma are dominant in the Late Cretaceous amber of Canada and the mid-Cretaceous amber of Myanmar (Christiansen and Pike, 2002a; Christiansen and Nascimbene, 2006). However, a different pattern is observed in the Early Cre¬ taceous amber of Spain, where the extant genus Proisotoma is the most abundant. Assuming that this paleofaunistic difference is not the result of sampling bias, it perhaps reflects some underlying paleoecological or temporal factor, resulting in the pervasiveness of one genus in Spanish amber and the other in Burmese and Canadian amber. Currently it is unclear what paleoecological parameters might result in the observed difference, but the question is worthy of further inquiry as more becomes known about the three paleoecosystems. Not surprisingly, there are no shared faunal elements at the generic level between the Cretaceous springtail faunas and those of the Cenozoic, which include only extant genera (appendix), although the faunas of Baltic, Domini¬ can, and Mexican ambers are in need of modern revision. Christiansen and Nascimbene (2006) noted that, while the Entomobryidae of their study appeared arboreal, the attributes of Protoisotoma, Burmisotoma, and Proisotoma as documented in Spanish, Burmese, and Canadian ambers are of neustonic to litter- or soil surface-living ecomorphologies, as supported by the lamellate mucrones, the few to absent clavate setae, and the tuberculate dentes (Christiansen, 1964). Indeed, the available evidence supports the conclu¬ sion that these taxa were semiaquatic to epedaphic, or less likely hemiedaphic, and likely came into contact with the resin as it accumulated at the base of trees in a generally moist or even boglike environment. Such an environmental reconstruction is consistent with the pattern observed for the Symphypleona (Sanchez-Garcia and Engel, 2016), as well as with the presence of other litter-dwelling, semiaquatic lineages in similar pieces (e.g., Heteroptera: Sanchez-Gar¬ cia et al., 2016; Archaeognatha: Sanchez-Garcia et al., in prep.; Dermaptera: Engel et al., 2015), and the capture of tanaid crustaceans (Sanchez-Garcia et al., 2015) and woodlice (Sanchez- Garcia et al., in prep.). Such a microhabitat sampling is analogous to the fragmentary springtail fauna preserved in the slightly younger amber of France (Perrichot, 2004), and it would be interesting to monograph that fauna and do a comparative analysis as there are many similari¬ ties between the Early to mid-Cretaceous ambers of Spain and France in regards to their litter fauna representation.

[in Japanese] 2016 SANCHEZ-GARCiA & ENGEL: CRETACEOUS AMBER SPRINGTAILS 27 APPENDIX A Checklist of the Fossil Collembola Appended here is an annotated checklist of documented occurrences of fossil and subfossil Collembola. We have not attempted to trace every passing mention of a springtail or those fossils so poorly preserved as to prevent description or attribution below the level of family (unless the same material was subsequently placed more precisely), but instead we list only those papers with attempts at some degree of identification at the generic level. In addition, we have not repeated entries from general catalogs or inventories (e.g., Keilbach, 1982; Spahr, 1990; Arillo and Ortuno, 2005), unless such secondary references presented unique data not found in a primary source. The arrangement of suprageneric groups is generally based on that of Bretfeld (1999), Deharveng (2004), Soto-Adames et al. (2008), and Janssens and Christiansen (2011). Daggers (f) denote taxa described as extinct, while an asterisk (*) indicates attribution of a particular fossil specimen to an extant species. While those extant species recorded as subfossils in copal are likely conspecific with modern populations, those attributed to specimens in amber, particularly middle Eocene Baltic amber, are almost assuredly not truly representative of the species. Such specimens should be restudied and properly described, and at that time it is almost certain that they will be found to represent extinct species perhaps similar to modern forms. The Baltic amber fauna was signifi¬ cantly confused by Olfers (1907), and the detailed treatments by Handschin (1926a, 1926b, 1926c, 1926d, 1926e) made great strides to clarify the mess. Unfortunately, much of the material upon which this work was made was lost, although small elements do survive. A thorough and modern revision of the Baltic amber Collembola is needed, followed by a new consideration of those in Miocene amber from southern Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
