Diplopoda

Include myriapods with that have the body double segmented,

with exception of the first segment. Each segment weare two pairs
of appendix.The genital hole is located at the III segment of body.

External morphology

Body is cylindrical,and is have up to few centimeter. The head

is small and dorsal is wear one pair of antennas and one occelli
fields.Ventral the mouth is surrounded by one lip and one pairs of
jaws.
The trunk are segmented and wear a double metamerical
pairs of appendix and internal organs like: stigma, ostioles, and
neural ganglions lymph nodes.
At the segments sides they have opened holes which possess
toxical glands used for defeat.

Internal morphology

The tegument a secret cuticles impregnated with limestone.

Nervuos system is stranded, with double innervated limphs, in
diplosomite.
The sense organs are represented by occelli grouped in two
ocelli fields.
Digestive system are stright, with labial salivary glands. The
median intestine is glandular and the posterior intestine is
extensive. At their limit can be found the Malpighi tubes.
Respitatory system is composed by tracheal bushes, simple
or double brached, with two pairs of stigma at each diplosomite.
 Circulatory appliance

The heart have a tubular structure and spreads throughout the

body. Is closed at posterior and have segmented double
ostiole.Previously she gives a aorta.The ventral sinus is around of
nervous chain, bound to heart by sided arteries in diplosomite.

Excretory system

Excretion is done trough Malpighi tubes on nephritis in the

ventral sinus sides, in te fat cells.

Genital system

Sexes are separate, with gonads united in a common shell

and with open gonoducts on segment III.

Development

The egg is stored at the ground and is have a anamorphycal

evolution, the result is one hexapod maggot with 7 segments
which after multiple moults will result the adult.

Ecology

Are spreaded everywhere, especialy in humid places, under

rocks, woods, at bower.They are nocturnal species. Are
phytophagous and saphrophagous, contributing in transformation
of ground.
 Symphyla

They are myriapods at 2-10mm with apperance like Chilipoda

but with some common caracters like Diplopoda.

External morphology

Body is formed by 12 segments, each segments having one

pair of appendix, closed with one pair of cercus that have a branch
role.
The head wear antennas and the bucal pieces: the jaws,
maxills and the labium.Ventral the segmentes have one pair of
sensorial stylus, and one pair of respiratory bags.

Internal morphology

Nervous system are stranded with a equal number as the

legs.Theyr haves tactiles hairs, and Tmsvari organs; the eyes
are missing. The respiration are tracheal or tegumentar, the heart
is like a duct and she gives a aorta; the excretion is done at the
level of Malpighi tubes.The gonads are previous open at segment
III.

Development

They have sexed or parthenogenetic reproduction, the

development is anamorphic, the juvenils having a few legs that
adults.

Ecology

They living in humid darkness places, in bower,under rocks,

and they are phytophagous.Are knowed 120 species.
