Entomobryidae

Belongs within: Collembola.
Contains: Orchesella, Entomobrya, Sinella, Lepidocyrtus, Pseudosinella, Seirini.

The Entomobryidae are a family of elongate springtails with a well-developed mucro. Members of the subfamilies Entomobryinae and Capbryinae have four-segmented antennae whereas most Orchesellinae have antennae with five or six segments. Capbryinae have three or four setae on the trochanteral organ whereas Entomobryinae have more. Within Entomobryinae, species of Entomobryini lack scales (Soto-Adames et al. 2008).

Characters (Soto-Adames et al. 2008): Dentes crenulate, strongly tapered; mucro bidentate or falcate. Abdominal segments 2-4 usually with 2-3-2 bothriothrica on each side.
