ABSTRACT
Oncopodura are rare basal springtails often associated with caves; only O. hyleana and O. itatiaiensis are known to Brazil. Oncopodura specimens from CRFS-UEPB were analyzed. Four new species are described O. aurea sp. n., O. bauxita sp. n., O. hematita sp. n., and O. turmalina sp. n. The coded description of Symphypleona is adapted to Arthropleona, and 96 morphological characters are listed. Data of habitat and distribution of the new species is presented. A key of Brazilian Oncopodura is provided. Oncopodura groups are analyzed with main morphological characters for the groups classification. The crassicornis group is paraphyletic, tricuspidata group is monophyletic, and cruciata group compounds a new group out tricuspidata, with uncertain classification. The main characters that support crassicornis are the presence of unguiculus basal tubercle, external pretarsal chaeta larger than internal, absence of lateral lamella on unguis and PAO often with 6 + 6 or more lobules; tricuspidata is supported by basal tubercle often absent, pretarsal chaetae with similar length (usually both small), presence of lateral lamella on unguis and PAO often with less than 4 + 4 lobules; cruciata group is supported by absence of lateral lamella on unguis and PAO with less than 4 + 4 lobules and pretarsal chaetae usually with same length, both large. The characters like number of PAO lobes and shape, number of Ant IV transversal sens, and shape of hooks of the dens apparently are adaptive, presenting variations in the species. All the newly described species have reduced abundance and are distributed along two of Brazilian major mining areas, and are subject of habitat loss and degradation.
