| Summary: | A new species of elongate springtail (Collembola: Entomobryomorpha) is described from a churchyard in Edinburgh: Entomobrya petri sp. nov. Microscopic examination of specimens from another site in the UK supports that this new species represents the taxon previously referred to as “Entomobrya nr. imitabilis”, which is widespread in the British Isles. As well as that of the examined specimens, the ecology and distribution of the morphospecies generally is discussed.
