Introduction The Collembola, commonly called are some of the researchers who have “spring-tails”, are small, entognathous, wingless substantially added a number of species to the hexapods possessing a spring-like forked Collembola from India. Indian fauna of jumping organ, the furcula, underneath the Collembola is represented by 342 species of 113 fourth abdominal segment. There are about 8800 genera belonging to 20 families. Out of which, described species of Collembola worldwide Poduromorpha + Entomobryomorpha consists (Bellinger et al., 2018). of 307 species in 97 genera in 12 families: The first Indian species of collembola Neanuridae (55 species of 24 genera), from Malabar hill regions was published by Tullbergidae (6 species of 3 genera), Ritter (1910).
