Desoria klovstadi is a species of springtails, native to Antarctica. It was one of the first Antarctic species, from the class of collemba, to be described.

Taxonomy

The desoria klovstadi was first collected in November 1899 during the British Antarctic Expedition, on the north coast of Victoria land. The species was first described by Carpenter G in 1902, and was one of the first from the class of collemba described from the continent of Antarctica.

Distribution and habitat

Desoria klovstadi can be found on the coasts of Antarctica and the ocean surrounding it: the Southern Ocean, also known as the Antarctic Ocean. More specifically, they occur in northern Victoria Land, the Possession islands, Coulman islands, and Foyn Islands
