Checklist of the Collembola: Key to the subfamilies of Entomobryidae |
This key is still under construction. Note that missing figures will be provided as soon as possible. Currently, the key is in the feasibility study phase to find out how to integrate in the checklist in a modular way a key that has been generated with DELTA.

Endnotes
1 Soto-Adames et al. (2008) place Lepidosinella in Seirinae because Yoshii indicates that in scale and mucro morphology, and in general body shape Lepidosinella most closely resembles Seira. But according to Yoshii (1989), Lepidosinella lacks ventral dental scales and keys out to Willowsiinae in line with Zhang et al. (2014).
2 Although Zhang & Deharveng (2015) dismissed Willowsiini, for convenience, in this checklist, the tribe Willowsiini of Entomobryinae is maintained at subfamily level.
3 Scaled Entomobryinae such as Sinhomidia, Amazhomidia, Acanthocyrtus.
