Scientific classification

Phylum:	Arthropoda;
Subphylum:	Hexapoda;
Class:	Entognatha (disputed);
Subclass:	Collembola;
Order:	Neelipleona(disputed);

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 controverted Springtail orders (Entomobryomorpha, Poduromorpha and Symphypleona)^[2]^[3] or a distinct suborder of Symphypleona ^[4]^[5], or placed in the Entomobryomorpha.
