collembola's Usage Examples:

Lubbock (Lord Avebury), "Monograph of the Collembola and Thysanura," Ray Society, 1873.

The insect fauna of limestone caves both in Europe and North America is largely composed of Aptera, especially Collembola.

In most Collembola the spring appears to belong to the fifth abdominal somite, but Willem, by study of the muscles, has shown that it really belongs to the fourth.

- Structure of Collembola.

- The Aptera are divided into two divergent sub-orders, theThysanura or bristle-tails, and the Collembola or springtails.

It is better, on the whole, to regard the Thysanura and Collembola as sub-orders of a single order, the Aptera.

Lubbock (Lord Avebury) separated the springtails as a distinct order, the Collembola, and by many students this separation has been maintained.

No indications beyond those furnished by comparative anatomy help us to unravel the phylogeny of the Collembola.

Collembola (Spring-tails): with six abdominal segments; appendages of the first forming an adherent ventral tube, those of the third a minute " catch," those of the fourth (fused basally) a " spring."

In Hemiptera only eleven and in Collembola only yolk, and that the mesenteric epithelium becomes reinforced by six abdominal segments have been detected.
