| Fritsch briefly described two specimens from the Cretaceous of the Czech Republic that he identified as chilopods, one a possible lithobiomorph. |
| Consequently most chilopods are carnivorous, searching for earthworms, enchytraeids, and insects. |
| Five important extant classes of Arthropods are arachnids, chilopods, diplopods, crustaceans and insects. |
| The fact that insects, chilopods and progoneates all have no visible post-antennular appendage does not make it an A2 that was lost. |
| As with millipedes, we close this general section by addressing the impact of chilopods on humans. |
| Centipedes or chilopods are part of a larger group of arthropods called the Myriapoda. |
