Elongate-bodied Springtails (Entomobryomorpha)? - Isotomurus

Elongate-bodied Springtails (Entomobryomorpha)? - Isotomurus
Big Basin Redwoods State Park, Headquarters area, Santa Cruz County, California, USA
March 12, 2011
Size: <2mm
These were on a post next to Drepanura californica, and appear to be the same thing, but juvenile and recently 'hatched?'.

the next 2 photos are cropped from this photo, and the crop boxes remained the same size. The larger one, is just a little smaller then the hairy adult ones I had shot.

Isotomurus sp.
Possibly palustris
Not Drepanura juveniles but members of a different family: Isotomidae.
Isotomurus, given the macrochaeta (strong, long seta) are only present on the last abdominal segments.

 
thank you!
It's nice to have a different Springtail in this area.
