Introduction
The Eosentomidae is a large, cosmopolitan family. The body form is elongate and the mouth-parts are fairly broad and sturdy. Lacinia of maxillae are hook-shaped. Tracheae and thoracic spiracles are present or, rarely, reduced.
The family erected by Berlese (1909), is represented in Australia by two genera and nine species, six of which are endemic.
