Specimens pale white with dark blue pigments on Ant I–IV, strongly on anterior head, intersegmental areas of antenna and Th II to Abd III; and one longitudinal inner spot on all tibiotarsi. Eyepatches black (Figure 9B). Head. Ant I dorsally with 3–4 mac (one outer distal present or absent) and 5 basal spiny smooth mic (Figure 10B). Posterior labial chaetotaxy series ‘CG’ with 6 ciliate chaetae (<b>CG 1-3</b>, <b>CG 5</b>, <b>CG 7–7e</b>); series ‘PLM’ with 2 ciliate chaetae (<b>PLM 1–2</b>); series ‘PLE’ with 2 ciliate chaetae (<b>PLE 1–2</b>); lateral side with about 14 ciliate chaetae (Figure 11B).

Trochanteral organ with 13 smooth spine-like chaetae (Fig 16B). Collophore anterior side with 2 subapical mac of unequal length and 1 median mes, and 4 proximal smooth mic; posterior side with 1 apical and 1 subapical smooth chaetae; lateral flap formula 2(s), 3(m), 5(i) smooth chaetae, 1 median and 3 inferior larger (Figures 17 C-D). Manubrial plate with 2–3 chaetae (Figure 19C). Mucro with 3–4 teeth (<b>d1</b>, <b>ap</b>, <b>v1-2</b>), <b>v2</b> teeth present or absent (Figure 19E). <i>Etymology</i> The species epithet honors our friend Dr. Bruno C. Bellini, Collembola researcher from Brazil. <i>Remarks</i> <i>Salina bellinii</i> <b>sp.n.</b> resembles <i>S. tristani</i> Denis, 1931 and <i>S. zhangi</i> by general morphology, including scarce pigmentation on Ant, trunk laterally and legs, dorsal chaetotaxy of Th II–Abd I with more than 2, 5, 2 central mac, respectively, and Abd IV with 8 central mac (see Denis 1931; Mari-Mutt 1987b; Soto-Adames 2010; Bellini &amp; Cipola 2017). However, <i>S. bellinii</i> <b>sp.n.</b> differs from these species by cephalic groove only with ciliate chaetae (2 serrated mic in <i>S. zhangi</i>), trochanteral organ with 13 spine-like chaetae (14 in <i>S. tristani</i> and 17 in <i>S. zhangi</i>), and collophore with 7 anterior chaetae (2 mac unequal and 1 mes), 2 posterior chaetae and lateral flap with 10 chaetae. In <i>Salina zhangi</i> has 9–10 anterior chaetae (2 mac unequal, without mes), 5–6 posterior chaetae and lateral flap with 14 chaetae, while <i>S. tristani</i> 4–5 posterior chaetae. The dorsal chaetotaxy of <i>S. bellinii</i> <b>sp.n.</b> differs by absence of <b>m1</b>, <b>p1p</b>, <b>p5</b> on Th II, <b>p1p</b> and <b>p2p</b> on Th III, and <b>a1</b> and <b>a2</b> on Abd I (generaly present in <i>S. tristani</i> and <i>S. zhangi</i>). The Abd III of <i>S. bellinii</i> <b>sp.n.</b> differs by 6 lateral mac (6 or less in <i>S. zhangi</i>) and Abd IV with 10 lateral mac (7 in <i>S. tristani</i> and 9 in <i>S. zhangi</i>).
