The genus Heteromuricus described by Imms (1912) with Heteromuricus cercifer as its type species. Imms erected this new genus due to presence of a single median circus to the fi fth abdominal segment which separates this genus from other known genera of Collembola. The other characters of this genus include: 1) Antennae 5-6 segmented; 2) 8+8 eyes; 3) body and furcula covered by apically rounded scales. Mari Mutt (1979) synonymized Heteromuricus cercifer Imms, 1912 as Dicranocentrus cercifer (Imms) owing to the similar characters of the genus Dicranocentrus.
