Encyclopedia Britannica



MYRIAPODA (Gr. for " many-legged ")

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 114 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MYRIAPODA (Gr. for " many-legged ") , arthropod animals of which centipedes and millipedes are
familiar
  examples.
Linnaeus
  included them in his Insecta Aptera together with Crustacea and
Arachnida
 ; in 1706 P. A. Latreille designated them as Myriopoditi, making of them, along with the Crustacean Oniscus, one of the seven orders into which he divided the Aptera of
Linnaeus
 . Later on J. C.
Savigny
 , by study of the mouth-parts, clearly distinguished them from
Insects
  and Crustacea. In 1814 W. E. Leach defined them and divided them into Centipedes and Millipedes. In 1825 Latreille carried further the observations of Leach, and suggested that the two groups were very distinct, the millipedes being nearer Crustacea and the centipedes approaching
Arachnida
  and Insecta. Although Latreille's
suggestion
  has not been adopted, it is recognized that centipedes and millipedes are too far apart to be united as Myriapoda, and they are now treated as
separate
  classes of the
Arthropoda
 . See
CENTIPEDE
  (Chilopoda) and
MILLIPEDE
  (Diplopoda).
