	Hairy Ground Springtail (Orchesella flavescens) [Public Domain] Chapter Outline Description of Arthropoda Classification of Arthropoda Chelicerata Mandibulata Pancrustacea Hexapoda Sources Links to external sites will appear in pop-up windows.			The subphylum Hexapoda contains three classes and an order: Diplura, Protura, Collembola and Insecta. The first three groups will be explored on this page, while Insecta gets it's own chapter (next). ORDER DIPLURA - two-pronged bristletails CLASS PROTURA - coneheads CLASS COLLEMBOLA - springtails Springtail (Orchesella cincta) - most iNat observations in the US for Collembola. Introduced. - 5 (Puget Sound area), 10 (Washington, DC and NYC) Springtail (Entomobrya atrocincta) - 7 (Monterey Bay) Seashore Springtail (Anurida maritima) - 3 (Acadia), 7 (Monterey Bay) CLASS INSECTA (next chapter) Resources: Diplura - WIK Protura - WIK [ Previous Page ] [ Next Page ]
