The subphylum Hexapoda (from Greek for 'six legs') or hexapods comprises the largest clade of arthropods and includes most of the extant arthropod species. It includes the crown group class Insecta (true insects), as well as the much smaller clade Entognatha, which includes three classes of wingless arthropods that were once considered insects: Collembola (springtails), Protura (coneheads) and ...
[1] [4] [5] Some evidence indicates the Protura are basal to all other hexapods, [ 6 ] although not all researchers consider them Hexapoda , rendering the monophyly of Hexapoda unsettled. [ 7 ] Uniquely among hexapods, proturans show anamorphic development, whereby body segments are added during moults .
The Entognatha are a class of wingless and ametabolous arthropods, which, together with the insects, makes up the subphylum Hexapoda. [1] [2] Their mouthparts are entognathous, meaning that they are retracted within the head, unlike the insects. [1]
