Onychiurinae
Onychiurinae is a subfamily of springtails (Collembola) in the family Onychiuridae, established by Börner in 1901. Members are characterized by reduced or absent eyes and the presence of a ventral tube (collophore) with distinct structures. The subfamily is primarily soil-dwelling and includes numerous genera distributed across temperate regions. Many species are blind and adapted to subterranean or deep soil habitats.
