Abstract
Collembola discussed in this study were largely collected by Professor C. Clayton Hoff, Department of Biology, University of New Mexico, between 1949 and 1954. Most of the collections were obtained by using either laboratory or field Berlese funnels to separate the Collembola from soil and litter. As used in this study, the term "field Berlese funnel" refers to an apparatus used for separation of Collembola from the soil or litter by placing the sample in a cloth funnel supported by a wire frame, sprinkling crystals of paradichlorobenzene on top of the soil or litter, and allowing the fumes of this chemical to drive the specimens downard through a cheese cloth and wire screen into a bottle of alcohol.
