Neanurinae

The subfamily Neanurinae contains pudgy short-legged springtails of the order Poduromorpha. It was established by Carl Börner in 1901[1] – or rather, it is the result of taxa being split out of Börner's family (initially proposed as a subfamily, but this had to be changed when springtails were discovered to be closely related to but not actually insects) whereas the type genus and its closest relatives were retained here.

Like other Neanuridae, they are stout-bodied springtails with vestigial furcula (Collembola), making them essentially unable to jump. Like their relatives, they lack anal thorns and have primitive ocelli.

Systematics

There are six tribes of Neanurinae currently recognized. Some notable genera are also listed here:

In addition, there are several genera incertae sedis, which cannot be assigned robustly to a tribe:

  • Echinanura
  • Paravietnura
  • Graniloba
  • Pseudadbiloba
  • Pseudobiloba
  • Zealandmeria
gollark: I would argue that both explanations are roughly as "simple" as each other, so meh.
gollark: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by negligence/incompetence, except maybe do because people can be either.
gollark: What's "MSM"?
gollark: Apparently their initial plan was just to hope for herd immunity or something, based on models they came up with for a flu pandemic, but said plans had handwaved the issue of ventilators, and the models didn't actually match COVID-19, and it took them a while to actually do something about this.
gollark: The UK doesn't seem to be doing hugely well with this whole thing to be honest.
