On Some Collembola of New Caledonia, with Notes on the "Colour Pattern Species"

Abstract

In September 1986, when I visited Dr. J. Najt in her laboratory in the Museum d'Histoire naturelle de Paris, she has kindly entrusted me with rich materials of Collembola-Entomobryomorpha from New Caledonia for inspection, which were collected by the participants of the "Action specifique du Museum national d'Histoire naturelle: Evolution et Vicariance en Nouvelle-Caledonie."It was very interesting, because I have once made a short report of the small collection of them from the island in 1960.
