Neoasterolepisma is a genus of primitive insects belonging to the family Lepismatidae. Many species live with ants.
The Machilidae are a family of insects belonging to the order Archaeognatha. There are around 250 described species worldwide. These insects are wingless, elongated and more or less cylindrical with a distinctive humped thorax and covered with tiny, close-fitting scales. The colour is usually grey or brown, sometimes intricately patterned. There are three "tails" at the rear of the abdomen: two cerci and a long central epiproct. They have large compound eyes, often meeting at a central point. They resemble the silverfish and the firebrat, which are from a different order, Zygentoma.
Lepismatidae is a family of primitive wingless insects with about 190 described species. This family contains the two most familiar members of the order Zygentoma: the silverfish and the firebrat. It is one of five families in the order Zygentoma.
Ctenolepisma is a genus of primitive insects closely related to the silverfish and firebrat but less reliant on human habitation, some species being found both indoors and outdoors and some found exclusively outdoors. The genus is distributed nearly worldwide in warm regions. Australia lacks native Ctenolepisma, but is home to introduced species.
Ctenolepisma lineatum is a primitive insect of the order Zygentoma. It is generally similar to the closely related silverfish but can be distinguished by being rather stouter and less shiny with all appendages noticeably longer. The abdomen is often marked with dark brown lines and the species is sometimes called four-lined silverfish.
Ctenolepisma almeriense is a species of primitive insect of the order Zygentoma. Members of this species were once attributed to the widespread species Ctenolepisma lineatum but there are small but consistent differences which mark this as a separate species. It is found exclusively in south-eastern Spain, on Mediterranean slopes of the provinces of Alicante, Almería, Murcia and Valencia.
Charimachilis is a genus of the family Machilidae which belongs to the insect order Archaeognatha. They are found in southern and eastern Europe.
Lepidospora is a genus of silverfish in the family Nicoletiidae.
Plusiocampa is a genus of two-pronged bristletails in the family Campodeidae. There are at least 50 described species in Plusiocampa.
Machilinus is a genus of rock bristletails in the family Meinertellidae. There are about 17 described species in Machilinus.
Haslundichilis is a genus of jumping bristletails in the family Machilidae. There are at least two described species in Haslundichilis.
Lepismachilis is a genus of jumping bristletails in the family Machilidae. There are more than 20 described species in Lepismachilis.
Meximachilis is a genus of jumping bristletails in the family Machilidae. There are at least three described species in Meximachilis.
Praemachiloides is a genus of jumping bristletails in the family Machilidae. There are about five described species in Praemachiloides.
Silvestrichilis is a genus of jumping bristletails in the family Machilidae. There are about eight described species in Silvestrichilis.
Stachilis is a genus of jumping bristletails in the family Machilidae. There are at least three described species in Stachilis.
Trigoniomachilis is a genus of jumping bristletails in the family Machilidae. There are at least four described species in Trigoniomachilis.
Trigoniophthalmus is a genus of jumping bristletails in the family Machilidae. There are about 11 described species in Trigoniophthalmus.
Thermobia aegyptiaca is a species of silverfish in the family Lepismatidae. The species was described by Hippolyte Lucas in 1840 based on specimens collected in Egypt. Thermobia aegyptiaca is distributed in Africa and the eastern Mediterranean Basin.
Neoasterolepisma gauthieri is a species of silverfish in the family Lepismatidae.
Sceletolepisma is a genus of primitive insects closely related to the silverfish and firebrat but less reliant on human habitation, some species being found both indoors and outdoors and some found exclusively outdoors. The genus is distributed nearly worldwide in warm regions.
