Checklist of myriapod groups
Les groupes de myriapodes

 

This page and the links below aim to propose an updated checklist of valid taxa belonging to the Classes Chilopoda, Diplopoda, Pauropoda and Symphyla. The lists are under construction at the genus level and plan to a comprehensive state at the species level in the future, according to updated knowledge in myriapod classification, systematics and biodiversity.
Any further contribution for taxonomical improvement is welcome.
Families, genera and species are listed according to alphabetic order.
Ý indicates fossil taxa.
* indicates type taxa (type genus, type species)

The considered hierarchical levels are CLASS - (SUBCLASS) - ORDER - (SUBORDER) - FAMILY - GENUS - SPECIES
