Tomocerina minuta (Tullberg, 1876) View in CoL
Distribution: Reported from the Holarctic Region (Fjellberg, 2007) and a new record for Turkey.
Remarks: There are 12 species of the genus Tomocerina in the world (Bellinger et al., 2016). We found only one species from Ordu and collected it from the seashore to high altitudes. The specimens were sampled from debris of chestnut and pine.
Tomocerus minor (Lubbock, 1862)
Distribution: Cosmopolitan species, but this is the first record from Turkey.
Remarks: The common species was collected by extraction from the debris of various mixed forests with other springtails in Ordu. The species can be easily differentiated by having dorsal spines of the dens 3-forked as compared with the other species, T. vulgaris , which has simple spines on the dens (see Martynova, 1969; Fjellberg, 2007). The species is common in Ordu Province.
