A new Australian species of Acrotelsella (Zygentoma: Lepismatidae); could it be an endangered short range endemic?

Graeme Smith
A new and comparatively attractive species of silverfish from the genus Acrotelsella is described from specimens collected near the summit of a mountain in central Australia. It is unusual in displaying medial combs on some urosternites. Questions are posed as to whether it is a species with a very restricted range that may be endangered by global warming, or simply a reflection of the poor state of knowledge of the Australian silverfish fauna.
