ORDER RHABDURA. 



Very thinly chitinized, small, slender, terrestrial insects with 

 somewhat flattened body; abdomen ending in long, or rather long, 

 jointed cerci. 



1. Occiput of the head small and hardly distinct from the vertex; first ventral 

 segment with four posterior processes; cerci short, robust, six-jointed, per-

PROJAPYGIDJE 



Occiput rather large and distinct from the vertex; first ventral segment with 

 two posterior processes; cerci long, slender and apically imperf orate; three 

 spiracles. (Campddea.) (PI. 16, fig. 279.) CAMPODfilD^E 



ORDER DICELLURA. 



(URATOCHEILA.) 



Rather delicate terrestrial insects with somewhat flattened 

 body, the abdomen ending in a pair of strong one-jointed forceps; 

 first ventral segment with two short styles and two submedian 

 hairy papillae.

CLASS COLLEMBOLA. 



Minute, wingless, springing insects; body sometimes clothed 

 with scales; abdomen consisting of six segments and never ter- 

 minated by caudal filaments or pincers-like appendages; ventral 

 tube always present; a forked leaping appendage usually present 

 beneath the abdomen. Eyes of degenerate compound type; 

 palpi vestigial; antennae with four to six joints; tarsi one-jointed; 

 no metamorphosis. 



ORDER ARTHROPLEONA. 



Body lengthened, subcylindrical; the abdomen composed of 

 six free segments, the fourth segment often much lengthened; 

 heart with six pairs of ostioles.
