Dicyrtoma fusca, information

Class: COLLEMBOLA Lubbock, 1870
Order: SYMPHYPLEONA Börner, 1901
Family: Dicyrtomidae Börner, 1906
Species: Dicyrtoma fusca (Lubbock, 1873), Scarce.

This species is listed as scarce, I have the experience that it in each case here in Drenthe is one of the common species. The species has quite a few colour forms, default is the animal almost smooth brown red, but there are also lighter forms, often with a black stripe on the back from the head to the back.
Species that can be confused with it are: Ptenothrix atra and Caprainea marginata.
