Families
Brachystomellidae
Cyphoderidae
Entomobryidae
The family Entomobryidae contains the so-called "slender springtails", a group of springtails characterised as having an enlarged fourth abdominal segment and a well-developed furcula. Species in this family may be heavily scaled and can be very colorful. The scale-less Entomobryas are commonly caught in pitfall traps around the planet, and also occur in canopy faunas high up in trees (notably , very common throughout Europe if not the northern hemisphere).

Hypogastruridae
Hypogastruridae is a family of springtails. Members of the family are common and widespread with a cosmopolitan distribution of about 660 species in about 40 genera. [more]
Isotomidae
Isotomidae is a family of springtails, comprising the following genera: [more]
Neanuridae
The family Neanuridae contains pudgy short-legged springtails of the order Poduromorpha. It was established by Carl B?rner in 1901. [more]
Odontellidae
Onychiuridae
Paronellidae
Poduridae
Poduridae is a small family of stout-bodied springtails containing only the single genus Podura, and making up the monotypic superfamily Poduroidea. The genus contains four species: [more]
Tomoceridae
At least 88 species and subspecies belong to the Family Tomoceridae.
