Sminthurinus aureus

This globular springtail appeared in a pitfall trap and was on its last legs when I found it. I keyed it as far as I could, to Sminthurinus sp., and after that I was struggling to see the requisite detail to take it any further. However I think its appearance matches the ochropus form of aureus, one of the common species in the genus.
