The Hexapoda subphylum has a couple classes, Insecta with all the insects, and Class Entognatha, which have mouthparts retracted into the head; below which are significantly smaller wingless groups: Collembola, Protura, and Diplura. Some of these groups were formerly classified under Insecta.
Partly based on recent research, there is still debate about classes under hexapoda, some models will show up to four sub groups including those of uncertain classification.
