chilognatha การใช้
- All other millipedes, belonging to the subclass Chilognatha, have a hardened exoskeleton.
- Some authors place Arthropleuridea within the Chilognatha, as a sister group to all living Chilognathan millipedes ( Pentazonia + Helminthomorpha ).
- All other millipedes belong to the subclass Chilognatha consisting of two infraclasses : Pentazonia, containing the short-bodied pill millipedes, and Helminthomorpha ( worm-like millipedes ), containing the great majority of the species.
- An alternate hypothesis breaks up the subclass : placing the orders Arthropleurida and Eoarthropleurida within the basal Penicillata ( as sister to the living Polyxenida ), and leaving only Microdecemplicida as a sister group to the living Chilognatha.
- Contemporary taxonomists did not appreciate his early, groundbreaking work on Dermaptera, mainly due to his obscure expression and scarcity of illustrations and explanations, but his achievements in this group as well as in Diplopoda and Chilognatha were later recognized.
