Ptenothrix is a genus of globular springtails in the family Dicyrtomidae. There are about 92 described species in Ptenothrix worldwide.[1][2] The genus is defined by a cluster of traits, most pertaining to chaetotaxy. These traits are as follows: large abdomen without a protuberance, with a full set of bothriotricha and posteriorly covered with small acanthoid chaetae, head and abdomen with at least some large acanthoid chaetae, hind tibiotarsus with 2-3 modified serrated chaetae, claws usually with no tunica, outer and inner chaetae on the dens often serrated, and no neosminthuroid chaetae.[2]
