The family Neanuridae contains pudgy short-legged springtails of the order Poduromorpha. It was established by Carl Börner in 1901.[1]

Systematics

There are six subfamilies currently recognized:

  • Caputanurininae
  • Frieseinae
  • Morulininae
  • Neanurinae
  • Pseudachorutinae
  • Uchidanurinae

The peculiar genus Pseudoxenylla is of uncertain relationships and hence not assigned to a subfamily yet.
