Bourletiellidae is a family of springtails in the order Symphypleona. [1]
Deuterosminthurus bisetosus is a species of springtail discovered living on the broom Genista hispanica in the autonomous community of Navarre in Spain.
The order Symphypleona is one of the three main groups of springtails (Collembola), tiny hexapods related to insects. When the springtails were still believed to be an order of insects, the Symphypleona were ranked as a suborder.
Springtails (Collembola) form the largest of the three lineages of modern hexapods that are no longer considered insects. Although the three orders are sometimes grouped together in a class called Entognatha because they have internal mouthparts, they do not appear to be any more closely related to one another than they are to all insects, which have external mouthparts.
