Dicyrtomoidea Katiannoidea Sminthuroidea Sminthurididoidea Sturmioidea Neopleona The order Symphypleona, also known as the globular springtails, is one of the three main groups of springtails (Collembola), tiny hexapods related to insects.

The Poduromorpha, by contrast, always have short legs and a plump body, but more oval in shape than the Symphypleona.

The Entomobryomorpha are the slimmest springtails, some with long and some with short legs and antennae, but always with a very slender body.

The Symphypleona order was previously suggested to also contain family Neelidae, as a very apomorphic relative in the Sminthuridae superfamily.

[citation needed] Phylogenetic studies however suggest Neelidae to be the only family of Neelipleona order.
