Abstract

A new collembolan species of the genus Morulodes was collected from the northernmost part of Hokkaido, Northern Japan. The present species can be separated from other congeneric species by having a distinct inner tooth on unguis and having a femoral long seta flattened apically. This is the first record of the genus from Asia.
