Definition of myriapod in English: myriapodnoun ˈmɪrɪəpɒdˈmɪriəˌpɑd Zoology An arthropod of a group that includes the centipedes, millipedes, and related animals. Myriapods have elongated bodies with numerous leg-bearing segments. 〔动〕多足虫，多足类 Classes Chilopoda, Diplopoda, Pauropoda, and Symphyla; formerly placed together in the class Myriapoda Example sentencesExamples - These tiny myriapods generally resemble very small centipedes.
- More problematic are the relationships of the four major groups, hexapods (including insects), crustaceans, myriapods (including centipedes and millipedes), and chelicerates (including spiders).
- This implies that water-to-land transition occurred at least three times (hexapods, myriapods, arachnids) during the evolution of the Arthropoda.
- Living among these early land plants were a diverse selection of arthropods, including spiders, mites, myriapods and collembolids.
- Like myriapods they have many trunk segments, but there the resemblance ends.
OriginEarly 19th century: from modern Latin Myriapoda, from Greek murias (see myriad) + pous, pod- 'foot'.
