	Diplura
		Diplura are tiny, cryptozoic animals that live in moist soil, leaf litter, or humus.
		Most Diplura are predators; their diet probably includes a wide variety of other soil-dwellers, including collembola, mites, symphyla, insect larvae, and even other diplurans.
		Diplura and some walkingsticks (Phasmatodea) are the only terrestrial arthropods known to be able to regenerate lost body parts.

	Diplura
		The name Diplura is derived from the Greek words "diplo-" meaning two and "ura" meaning tails which refers to the large cerci at the terminal end of the of the abdomen.
		Most Diplura are predators and so their diet consists of a variety of other soil-dwellers such as springtails, mites, insect larvae, and ins some cases other diplurans.
		Diplura and some walkingsticks (Phasmida) are the only terrestrial arthropods known to be able to regenerate lost body parts through a series of several molts.

	Checklist of the Collembola: Are Collembola terrestrial Crustacea? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In Diplura, the dorsal organ is formed by the concentration of whole serosal cells, after the stage where the embryo segregates the inner layer.
		Traditionally, Collembola, Protura and Diplura were grouped as "Entognatha", based on the apparently similar morphology of the mouthparts, that are enclosed in folds of the head.
		The abdomen of Diplura is composed of 10 segments.

	Checklist of the Collembola: Are Collembola terrestrial Crustacea?
		Hennig (1953 cited from Wheeler, Whiting, Wheeler and Carpenter, 2001:115), (1965 and 1969 cited from Dallai and Callaini, 1979:64; Dallai, 1991:267) and Tuxen (1970 and 1972 cited from Dallai and Callaini, 1979:64; Dallai, 1991:267) regard Protura + Collembola as a monophyletic 'sister-group' of Diplura.
		Entognathy is a convergent characteristic acquired independently in Elliplura and Diplura according to Manton (1977, 1979 cited from Bach de Roca, Gaju-Ricart and Compte-Sart, 1999:381), Koch (1997, 1998 cited from Bach de Roca, Gaju-Ricart and Compte-Sart, 1999:381), and Kraus (1998 cited from Bach de Roca, Gaju-Ricart and Compte-Sart, 1999:381).

	dipluran (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Diplurans (Order Diplura) are one of the three hexapod orders not considered to be true insects.
		The three families of diplurans may be distinguished by the paired cerci at the rear of the body.
		The derivation of the name, "Diplura", is from these prominent structures, which are as long as the antennae in the Family Campodeidae, pincer-like in the Family Japygidae, and short and stubby in the Family Anajapygidae (or Projapygidae).

		The name Diplura means 'double tail', and refers to the prominent paired cerci on the tail.
		Diplura are eyeless and lack the tentorium (the internal chitinous skeleton of an insect's head).
		With around 800 described species worldwide, Diplura are rare compared to their relatives, the insects.

	Hexapoda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The non-insect hexapods have variously been considered a single evolutionarily line, typically treated as Class Endognatha, or several lines with different relationships with the Class Insecta.
		In particular, the Diplura may be more closely related to the Insecta than the Collembola or the Protura.
		There is also some evidence suggesting that the hexapod groups may not share a common origin, and in particular that the Collembola belong elsewhere.

	Gordon's Diplura Page
		Apterygote (primarily flightless) insects with entognathous mouth-parts, many segmented antennae, ten large abdominal segments followed by one small abdominal segment which carries the variably formed paired cerci.
		The Diplura or two pronged bristle-tails (from diplos = double and oura = a tail) are another group of soil and leaf-litter insects of ancient origin, they are mostly small (the largest being about 5cm long), often white in colour and occur all over the world.
		There are a couple lovely paintings of some diplura done by A.T.Hollick in the 1860's in John Lubbock's 1871 monograph on the Collembola and Thysanura,

		They are now classified in the subphylum Hexapoda, and are characterized by having three body regions (head, thorax, and abdomen) and a three-segmented thorax bearing six legs.
		The orders Protura, Collembola, and Diplura, formerly considered insects, now make up the class Entognatha.
		Entognaths have mouthparts recessed into the head capsule, reduced Malpighian tubules (excretory tubes), and reduced or absent compound eyes.
