8-665: The Entomobryomorpha, the Poduromorpha, and the third springtaill lineage – the Symphypleona – are equally distinct from each other. Their treatment at equal taxonomic rank reflects this. Their rank has also varied a bit. When the springtails were still believed to be an order of insects, the "Arthropleona" and the Symphypleona were treated as suborders . The superfamilies and families are arranged in
12-496: The slimmest springtails. They either have short legs and antennae , but their long bodies set them apart, or long legs and antennae, as well as well-developed furculae ; these are the most characteristic members of the order. The Entomobryomorpha were, as Entomobryoidea, united with the Poduromorpha (then called Poduroidea) in a group called "Arthropleona", but this has more recently turned out to be paraphyletic . Actually,
16-497: The three main groups ( order ) of springtails (Collembola), tiny hexapods related to insects . This group was formerly treated as a superfamily , the Entomobryoidea . They can be best distinguished from the other springtail groups by their body shape. The Symphypleona are very round animals, almost spherical . The Poduromorpha are also very plump but have a more oval shape. The Entomobryomorpha, by contrast, contain
