Large Collembola found in leaf litter - Pogonognathellus

Large Collembola found in leaf litter - Pogonognathellus
Richfield, Summit County, Ohio, USA
April 14, 2018
Size: ~ 4.5mm overall
I found several of these large-bodied springtails under an inch of two of leaf litter. The litter consisted primarily of oak and was in a mesic beech/maple forest. I am thinking these are in the Entomobryidae? Any help ID'ing this critter would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Pogonognathellus sp.
Not Entomobryidae but Tomoceridae. Note characteristic long 3rd antennal segment.
