ABSTRACT: Hypogastrura arnei sp. nov. is described from the USA. This species has a unique combination of morphological characters: an oval and slightly fl attened body, a coarse tegumental granulation, a plurichaetotic dorsal chaetotaxy, antennal segment IV with 4-6 lateral sensilla and 1 dorsal cylindrical sensillum, a moderately modifi ed furca and minute anal spines without papilla. The new species is closely related to H. iwamurai Yosii, 1960, H. reticulata Börner, 1909 and several members of the nivicola (= socialis), packardi (= sahlbergi) and crassaegranulata groups sensu Christiansen & Bellinger (1980), Babenko et al. (1994) and Skarżyński (2009).
