Springtail

Aucune description en français n’est encore disponible.

Springtails (class Collembola) form the largest of the three lineages of modern hexapods that are no longer considered insects, the others being Protura and Diplura. Although the three lineages are sometimes grouped together in a class called Entognatha because they have internal mouthparts, they do not appear to be any more closely related to one another than they are to insects, which have external mouthparts. There are more than 9,000 species worldwide.

Proisotoma es un género de Collembola en la familia Isotomidae. Existen más de 50 especies decriptas en Proisotoma.
