The subphylum Hexapoda (from the Greek for six legs) constitutes the largest number of species of arthropods and includes the insects as well as 3 much smaller groups of wingless arthropods: 

Collembola, 

Protura, and 

Diplura 

(all of these were once considered insects).

The Collembola (or springtails) are very abundant in terrestrial environments.

.

Hexapods are named for their most distinctive feature: a consolidated thorax with three pairs of legs (six legs).

.

(most other ‘arthropods’ have more than 3 pairs of legs)
