Introductory note

Peter Bellinger had been keeping a list of all references to all species of Collembola for over 50 years before his death in 2000. Kenneth Christiansen has the originals of this list. Recently, a project to scan Peter Bellinger's notes has been started, to make the list available at the internet. Examining the portions of this list already available will show the nature of the references furnished. Since these were typed or handwritten in different colors and intensities over the last half century, the copies, while almost always legible, are of varying quality. If there are serious questions about some of the references Kenneth Christiansen will be willing to send via snail mail a clearer copy of one or two pages to anybody who requires them.

Thomas Tully generously provided the webspace required to store the scanned species list pages. The following is a list of alphabetically sorted published species records, painstakingly maintained by Peter Bellinger during his lifetime career as Collembola taxonomist.
