Cylindrachetidae
Sandgropers are wholly larviform insects of the family Cylindrachetidae that may grow up to 7 cm (3 in) long. Three genera are currently recognised: Cylindracheta, Cylindraustralia and Cylindrodes. Like many subterranean animals, little is known about their habits and diet, but Western Australian farmers have blamed them for substantial crop losses. [more]
Dzhajloutshellidae
Regiatidae
Ripipterygidae
Tridactylidae
At least 63 species and subspecies belong to the Family Tridactylidae.
