Neelipleona is a name given to some hexapods of the subclass Collembola (springtails). While their taxonomic rank remains broadly settled as family Neelidae, Neelipleona has been described at order or suborder rank.

Taxonomic rank

Many authors consider the "Neelipleona" Symphypleona of the superfamily Sminthuroidea, family Neelidae.[1]

However, in other accounts, Neelipleona are either a distinct order from the three less controversial Springtail orders (Entomobryomorpha, Poduromorpha and Symphypleona)[2][3] or a distinct suborder of Symphypleona,[4][5] or placed in the Entomobryomorpha.

gollark: According to public records on some thread or other TJ09 actually killed EATW's API access when the viewbombing happened, ostensibly to prevent people from submitting eggs while it was happening.
gollark: Viewbombers did not directly kill it.
