∗Class Myriapoda∗ Myriapods (Gr. myrias, a myriad + pous, podus, foot) General characteristics∗ Loss of compound eyes∗ All appendages uniramous;∗ Head appendages consisting of:

∗ one pair of antennae, ∗ one or two pairs of mandibles, ∗ one or two pairs of maxillae.

Repugnatorial glandsOrgans of Tomosvary


∗Class Myriapoda

∗ Class Myriapoda includes 4 orders:

Order Chilopoda (centipedes), Order Diplopoda (millipedes), Order Pauropoda (pauropods),Order Symphyla (symphylans)


∗Order Chilopoda∗ Chilopoda (ki-lop o-da) (Gr. cheilos, margin, lip, pous, podos, foot)

∗ Commonly known as centipede mean “hundred feet”∗ There are about 3,000 species worldwide.∗ Most species of centipedes are harmless to humans, although

many tropical centipedes are dangerous∗ Centipedes prefer moist places such as under logs, bark, and stones∗ Centipedes, are land forms with somewhat flattened bodies.∗ Centipede bodies may contain from a 15 to 177 segmentsFeeding:∗ Carnivores , they kill their prey with their venom claws and then

chew it with their mandibles.Subphylum Mandibulata 12

∗ Reproduction∗ Sexes are separate (Dioecious). ∗ Some centipedes lay eggs and others are viviparous.∗ The young are similar in form to adults and do not undergo

metamorphosis (Direct development)∗ Respiration∗ a tracheal system of branched air tubes that come from a pair of

spiracles in each segment.∗ Nervous system∗ divided brain connected with a ventral chain of ganglia, or two

nerve cords, stretching the entire length of its body∗ Excretory system∗ Malpighian tubule system


∗ Nervous System


∗ Order Chilopoda


∗Order Diplopoda Diplopoda (Gr. diploo, double, two, pous, podos, foot)

∗ Commonly called millipedes, which literally means “thousand feet”∗ They prefer dark, moist places under logs or stones∗ There are more than 10,000 species of millipedes worldwide.∗ They are also terrestrial that have cylindrical bodies containing 25

to more than 100 segments.∗ Millipedes are mainly nocturnal, although pill millipedes are usually

active during the day.


∗ Defense mechanism secreting toxic or repellent fluids from special glands

(repugnatorial glands) positioned along the sides of the body.millipedes is to curl up tightly into a coil, protecting their legs inside

an armored exterior, as they lack the ability to sting or bite. Many species also emit a poisonous secretion through microscopic

pores along the sides of their body. This substance is strong enough to burn the exoskeleton of ants and other insects and also the skin of larger predators.

∗ Feeding∗ Most millipedes are herbivorous, feeding on decayed plant matter,∗ although sometimes they eat living plants


∗ Reproduction∗ Millipedes generally reproduce∗ 1. via copulation∗ 2. parthenogenesis ∗ 3. male leave their spermatophore in the ground and the female

will find it.

∗ Respiration ∗ Millipedes have a tracheal respiratory system and take in air

through spiracles that occur down each side of the body


∗ Nervous system∗ The nervous system consists of a three-part mandibulate

brain :protocerebrum, deuterocerebrum, and tritocerebrum, ,ganglionated, ventral longitudinal nerve cord

∗ Excretory system∗ Malpighian tubule system


∗ Malpighian Tubules


∗Order Diplopoda


∗Order Pauropoda Pauropoda (Gr. pauros, small, pous, podos, foot)

∗ a group of minute organisms(2 mm or less), soft-bodied myriapods,∗ Numbering almost 500 species.∗ They live in moist soil, leaf litter, or decaying vegetation and under

bark and debris. ∗ Pauropods have branched antennae∗ No true eyes, but they have a pair of sense organs that resemble∗ eyes called pseudoculi∗ Their 12 trunk segments usually bear nine pairs of legs∗ Tracheae, spiracles, and circulatory system are lacking.


∗ Feeding∗ Pauropods apparently feed on fungi, decaying plant and animal

material∗ Reproduction∗ Parthenogenesis

∗ Respiration∗ Respiration is cutaneous.

∗ Excretory system∗ Malphighian tubule system


∗Order Pauropoda


∗Order Sympylan∗ Symphyla (Gr. sym, together, phylon, tribe)

∗ are small (2 to 10 mm) and have centipede-like bodies∗ They live in humus, leaf mold, and debris. ∗ Examples: ∗ Scutigerella often pests on vegetables and fl owers, particularly in

greenhouses. ∗ They are soft bodied, with 14 segments, 12 of which bear legs and

one a pair of spinnerets.∗ The antennae are long and unbranched.∗ Lacking eyes, their long antennae serve as sense organs


∗ Feeding∗ They are mainly scavengers on decayed vegetation, but one

species, Scutigerella immaculata, is a serious pest of certain crops.∗ Reproduction∗ Dioecious, Males deposit sperm packets on the ground. The

females later pick up the sperm packets in their mouths.∗ Respiration∗ Tracheal system and spiracles∗ Excretory system∗ Malphighian tubule system


∗Order Sympylan


Superclass Hexapoda

28

∗ Super Class Hexapoda

∗ Presence of six legs in members of the group. ∗ All legs are uniramous ∗ Hexapods have three tagmata —head, thorax, and abdomen—

with appendages on the head and thorax.

∗ Abdominal appendages are greatly reduced or absent. There are two classes within Hexapoda:

Class Entognatha Class Insecta

29

∗Class Entognatha

∗ Entognatha is a small group whose members have the bases of mouthparts enclosed within the head capsule called as entognathous

∗ Ametabolous arthropods∗ Apterous (wingless)

∗ 3 orders of entognathans. ∗ Order Protura ∗ Order Diplura ∗ Order Collembola

30

∗ Ametabolous development

31

Order Protura

∗A group of small (less than 2mm), wingless, eyeless creatures living in leaf litter and decomposing vegetation. ∗2250 species∗Proturans live chiefly in soil, mosses, and leaf litter of moist temperate forests[ that and also found beneath rocks or under the bark of trees∗They feed on mycorrhizal fungi, dead Acari, and mushroom powder , and are thought to feed on decaying vegetable matter ∗ There are no cerci at the end of the abdomen ∗The first three abdominal segments bear limb-like appendages called "styli"

32

∗ Lacks an antenna

∗ Respiration depends on the species members of Eosentomoidea possess spiracles and a tracheal system, while those in the Acerentomoidea lack these structures and perform gas exchange by diffusion.

33

∗ Order Protura

34

∗Order Diplura

∗ sometimes called "two-pronged bristletails”∗ Small (less than 4 mm), white, wingless and eyeless herbivores

and predators lacking Malpighian tubules∗ 650 species∗ They have no eyes and, apart from the darkened cerci in some

species, they are unpigmented.∗ They have long antennae with 10 or more bead-like segments

projecting forward from the head, and a pair of cerci projecting backwards

∗ Live in concealed, damp situations in the soil, under stones, in dead wood and among leaf litter, where they feed on decaying vegetable matter.

35

∗ Order Diplura

36

Order Collembola

∗Are commonly called “springtails” because of their ability to leap∗An animal 4 mm long may leap 20 times its body length∗Collembolans live in soil, in decaying plant matter, on freshwater pond surfaces, and along the seashore.∗ They can be very abundant, reaching millions per hectare in some soils, but like other entognathans, their small size makes them less visible to the casual observer.∗Collembolans are omnivorous∗They do not directly engage in the decomposition of organic matter, but, rather, can indirectly through the fragmentation of organic matter
