 Comments
       
  Comment: The ranks applied to the three 'entognath' groups (Collembola, Protura and Diplura) vary from class (e.g., Ruggiero et al. 2015, Ruggiero 2019) to order (e.g., Brusca et al. 2022). As a practical matter, ITIS is treating them as classes since some major sources, like collembola.org, use classes
