II – III, and coxae of legs. Head. Eyes 8 + 8, G and H smaller than others, and sometimes invisible (Fig. 4). Antenna 1.9 – 3.2 times as long as cephalic diagonal; antennal segment ratio I: II: III: IV = 1: 1.3 – 1.6: 1.4 – 1.5: 1.8 – 2.5; Ant. III organ with 2 rod-like sensory setae (Fig. 5); Ant. IV apical bulb bilobed (Fig. 6). Dorsal cephalic chaetotaxy (after Szeptycki, 1973) with 6 antennal (A), 3 ocellar (O) and 6 sutural (S) macrochaetae (Fig. 4). Labral papillae absent. Prelabral and labral setae (after Szeptycki, 1973) as 4 / 5, 5, 4, all smooth; seta a 2 slightly shorter than a 1, and apparently longer than b 2 (Fig. 7). Five papillae A – E on labial palp (after Fjellberg, 1998 / 99) with 1, 4, 0, 4, 4 guard setae respectively; lateral process (l. p.) with tip not reaching apex of papilla E (Fig. 8). Setal formula of labial base as M, R, E, L 1 and L 2, setae E and L 1 smooth, others ciliate (Fig. 9). Maxillary palp simple with 1 terminal hair; maxillary outer lobe with 3 sublobal hairs and 1 basal seta (Fig. 10). Thorax. Dorsal chaetotaxy (after Szeptycki, 1979) shown in Fig. 11. Th. II with 4 medio-medial (m 1, m 2, m 2 i, m 2 i 2), 4 (5) medio-sublateral (m 4, m 4 i, m 4 p, m 4 pi; m 4 pi 2 rarely present), and 26 – 29 posterior macrochaetae (p 4 ip and p 4 p often absent). Trochanteral organ with 41 – 71 smooth spiny setae (Fig. 12). Inner differentiated tibiotarsal setae slightly ciliate, most distal one on hind leg smooth. Tenent hair clavate and slightly longer than inner edge of unguis. Unguis with 4 (2 paired and 2 unpaired) tiny inner teeth and 2 lateral teeth. Unguiculus lanceolate with outer edge slightly serrate (Fig. 13). Coxal macrochaetal formula as 3 / 4 + 2, 3 / 4 + 3 (Fig. 14). Abdomen. Dorsal chaetotaxy (after Szeptycki, 1979) shown in Figs. 15 and 16. Abd. I with 10 (11) macrochaetae (a 2, a 3, a 5, m 2, m 2 i, m 3, m 4, m 4 i, m 4 p, m 5; a 5 i rarely present) on each side. Abd. II with 6 central (a 2, a 3, m 3, m 3 e, m 3 ea, m 3 ep) and 1 lateral (m 5) macrochaetae on each side. Abd. III with 2 central (a 2, m 3) and 5 lateral (am 6, pm 6, m 7, p 6, p 7) macrochaetae on each side (Fig. 15). Abd. IV with 10 – 13 macrochaetae on anterior part of each side, arranged in irregular transverse row; extra macrochaeta (A 2) always present anterior to transverse row; posterior part with 10 – 16 macrochaetae (A 4 a, A 4 – 6, B 4 – 6, Ai 1 – 2, Ae 4 – 8; A 4 a and Ae 8 rarely present) (Fig. 16). Ventral tube anterior face with many ciliate setae, among them 3 + 3 as macrochaetae, line connecting proximal (Pr) and external-distal (Ed) macrochaetae oblique to median furrow (Fig. 17); posterior face with 5 subapical smooth and numerous ciliate setae (Fig. 18); lateral flap with 9 smooth and 19 – 22 ciliate setae (Fig. 19). Ratio of manubrium: (dens + mucro) = 1: 1 – 1.1. Dens with 6 – 16 spines; basal setae (after Szeptycki, 1973) bs 1 and bs 2 spiny and multilaterally ciliate, bs 1 apparently shorter than bs 2; proximal-inner seta (pi) ciliate, apparently thinner, slender and longer than bs 1 and bs 2 (Fig. 20). Mucro bidentate with subapical tooth obviously larger than apical one; basal spine short, with tip only reaching subapical tooth (Fig. 21). Tenaculum with 4 + 4 teeth and 1 large, multi-laterally ciliate basal seta (Fig. 22). Ecology. In litter of radish on farmland.	en	Shi, Shi-Di, Pan, Zhi-Xiang, Qi, Xin (2009): A new species of the genus Homidia Börner, 1906 (Collembola: Entomobryidae) from East China.
