	Centipede Chapter Outline Description of Arthropoda Classification of Arthropoda Chelicerata Mandibulata Pancrustacea Hexapoda Sources Links to external sites will appear in pop-up windows.			Mandibulata is split into two groups: the subphylum Myriapoda and Pancrustacea. Pancrustacea includes the crustaceans and insects, which will be covered in the following pages. This page covers Myriapoda, which contains four classes: Chilopoda (Centipedes), Diplopoda (Millipedes), Pauropoda and Symphyla. Myriapoda Chilopoda Diplopoda Pauropoda Symphyla Pancrustacea (next page) Resources: CHILOPODA   The class of centipedes. As of 2024, 72 species of Chilopoda have been observed in iNaturalist in the US and 268 throughout the world. Centipedes are differentiated from millipedes (Diplopoda) by the number of pairs of legs they have per body segment. Centipedes have one pair per segment while millipedes have two pairs. Centipede -NOAH SUBCLASS NOTOSTIGMOPHORA ORDER SCUTIGEROMORPHA House Centipede (Scutigera coleoptrata) - most iNat observations in the US for Chilopoda. Introduced. - Perry Lake, KS SUBCLASS PLEUROSTIGMOPHORA ORDER CRATEROSTIGMOMORPHA ORDER LITHOBIOMORPHA Stone Centipede - Greenwood County, KS EPIMORPHA ORDER GEOPHILOMORPHA ORDER SCOLOPENDROMORPHA Common Desert Centipede (Scolopendra polymorpha) - most native iNat observations in the US for Chilopoda - 9 (Saguaro, Organ Pipe, Cave Creek Canyon) Asian Giant Centipede (Scolopendra subspinnipes) - 6 (SCZ) Resources: DIPLOPODA   The class of millipedes. As of 2024, 302 species of Diplopoda have been observed in iNaturalist in the US and 810 throughout the world. SUBCLASS HELMINTHOMORPHA SPHAEROTHERIIDA ORDER CALLIPODIDA ORDER CHORDEUMATIDA ORDER JULIDA ORDER PLATYDESMIDA ORDER POLYDESMIDA Greenhouse Millipede (Oxidus gracilis) - most iNat observations in the US for Diplopoda. Introduced. - 10 (Chesapeake Bay and Washington, DC area) Yellow-Spotted Millipede (Harpaphe haydeniana) - most native iNat observations in the US for Diplopoda - 5 (All over Pacific Northwest) ORDER POLYZONIIDA ORDER SIPHONOPHORIDA ORDER SPIROBOLIDA American Giant Millipede (Narceus) - Douglas County, KS ORDER SPIROSTREPTIDA Desert Millipede (Orthoporus ornatus) - Palo Duro Canyon SUBCLASS MONOCHETA ORDER STEMMIULIDA SUBCLASS PENICILLATA ORDER POLYXENIDA SUBCLASS PENTAZONIA ORDER GLOMERIDA ORDER GLOMERIDESMIDA Resources: PAUROPODA   The class of pauropods. Pauropods have not been observed very often in iNaturalist. They are very small. As of 2024, 4 species of Pauropoda (5 total observations) have been observed in iNaturalist in the US and 10 species (12 total observations) throughout the world. However, Wikipedia claims that there are 900 species of pauropods. Deltopauropus magnus - most iNat observations in the US for Pauropoda - 10 (Washington, DC area) Resources: SYMPHYLA   The class of symphylans. Like pauropods, symphylans are rarely observed in iNaturalist. As of 2024, only 2 species (4 observations) of Symphyla have been observed in iNaturalist in the US and 4 species (8 observations) throughout the world. They look similar to some insect's larval forms or even to adult Earwigs with more legs. Hanseniella - most iNat observations in the US for Symphyla - 10 (Chesapeake Bay region and NYC area) Resources: [ Previous Page ] [ Next Page ]
