Neelipleona s adventures in wonderland
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.

Taxonomic rank
Many authors consider the "Neelipleona" Symphypleona of the superfamily Sminthuroidea, family Neelidae.
However, in other accounts, Neelipleona are either a distinct order from the three less controversial Springtail orders (Entomobryomorpha, Poduromorpha and Symphypleona) or a distinct suborder of Symphypleona, or placed in the Entomobryomorpha.
