Abstract

Two new species of Collembola are described, full body chaetotaxy is given. Ptenothrix dalii sp. nov. and Seira pietata sp. nov. were originally found in metalogenic areas covered with transitional vegetation of savanna and forest in Minas Gerais, Southeastern Brazil. Ptenothrix dalii sp. nov. is part of the “gracilis-group” of species, with large, blunt macrochaetae on head and body. Seira pietata sp. nov. is part of the “andensis-group” of species, lacking macrochaeta on abdominal segment I.
