Diplura (Two-pronged Bristletails)

Primitive hexapods that are closely related to insects and have long, moniliform antennae and filiform or forceps-like cerci.

The Western Australian subterranean fauna of diplurans with respect to environmental assessments for mining projects was reviewed by Koch (2009).

Projapygidae are characterised by bearing two short but pluriarticulated cerci.
