Neelipleona is a name given to some Hexapods of the subclass Collembola (Springtails). While their taxonomic rank remains broadly settled as family Neelidae, Neelipleona has been described at Order or Suborder rank.
[edit] Taxonomic rank
Many authors consider the "Neelipleona" Symphypleona of the superfamily Sminthuroidea, family Neelidae.[1]
However, in other accounts, Neelipleona are either a distinct order from the three less controversial Springtail orders (Entomobryomorpha, Poduromorpha and Symphypleona)[2][3] or a distinct suborder of Symphypleona,[4][5] or placed in the Entomobryomorpha.
