Peter Edelman (previous poster on your page)and I have found some similar critters to yours here in the East. Ours are a new genus to NA. I'm betting that your's are Grassiella but it is virtually impossible to tell without dissecting them. Would you be willing and able to send me some specimens? The more the better. They are easy to collect with an aspirator, I can send you directions on how to make one if you do not already have one. Greg Roberta,

They were under rocks with<em> Solenopsis xyloni</em>, our native fire ants. I didn't collect any, although I probably should. I found these silverfish in Phoenix, Arizona.

I found something just like it in Northern Virginia. Yours and mine definitely resemble <i>Grasiella wheeleri</i>; however these are supposed to occur only in Texas and Florida--except, possibly, for some recent incursions into the Northeast. I posted some photos (for example, the one at http://bugguide.net/node/view/351131) at bugguide.net. I'm curious: Where did you find yours? Interesting post.
