Springtails, especially entomobryids, are abundant in Karst faunas. Five new species of Sinella Brook are described here from caves in southern China: S. liuae sp. nov., S. hunanica sp. nov., S. tigris sp. nov., S. minuta sp. nov. and S. tiani sp. nov. A new record of Sinella sineocula Chen & Christiansen, is also recorded. These species differ in claw structure, chaetae on ventral side of the head, and body chaetotaxy. An updated key to cave species of Sinella from China is provided.
弹尾虫,尤其是长角跳虫科,在喀斯特动物群中数量众多。本文描述了采自中国南方洞穴的5个新种,即刘氏棘跳虫Sinella liuae sp. nov.、湖南棘跳虫S. hunanica sp. nov.、虎纹棘跳虫S. tigris sp. nov.、微小棘跳虫S. minuta sp. nov.和田氏棘跳虫S. tiani sp. nov.。同时还记录了陈氏棘跳虫Sinella sineocula Chen & Christiansen的一个新纪录。这些物种在爪的结构、头部腹面的刚毛以及身体的刚毛序方面存在差异。提供了一份更新后的中国洞穴棘跳虫属物种检索表。
