Symphyla are small, cryptic myriapods without eyes and without pigment. [4] The body is soft and generally 2 to 10 millimetres (0.08 to 0.4 in) long, divided into two body regions: head and trunk. [4] An exceptional size is reached in Hanseniella magna, which attains lengths of …

Symphylan, (class Symphyla), any of a group of insects that are often included with the centipedes (Chilopoda) and millipedes (Diplopoda) in the superclass Myriapoda of the subphylum Labiata. The approximately 120 species resemble small centipedes with the largest being less than 10 mm (0.4 inch)

Symphyla are small, whitish centipede-like creatures ranging from less than 1/8 inch up to about 5/8 inch (or 1/4 inch for garden symphylans) (Edwards, 1990). They have six to 12 pairs of legs (depending on age), which makes them easy to distinguish from common soil insects (e.g., springtails) and diplurans that have only three pairs of legs ...

Symphylans are grouped in Myriapoda, a subphylum of arthropods containing millipedes, centipedes, and others. They are in their own arthropod class called the Symphyla. Symphylans are 2–9 mm long, delicate, white, and soft-bodied. They have no true eyes.

Symphylans, also known as garden centipedes or pseudocentipedes, are soil-dwelling arthropods of the class Symphyla in the subphylum Myriapoda. Symphylans resemble centipedes, but are smaller and translucent, and only distantly related to true centipedes.

Symphyla are soil-dwelling arthropods in the subphylum Myriapoda. They are relatives of centipedes. Symphylans look like centipedes, but are smaller and translucent. They move through the pores between soil particles. They are found from the surface down to a depth of about 50 cm.

Symphylans (Symphyla) (including the infamous garden symphylan or garden centipede, Scutigerella immaculata), are a class of tiny, many-legged, whitish soil-dwelling arthropods in the subphylum Myriapoda (meaning many-legged), together with centipedes (Chilopoda), millipedes (Diplopoda) and pauropods (Pauropoda).

The Symphyla seem to be a very old and homogenous group, probably monophyletic. It is known from both Dominican and Baltic amber. Contrary to Diplopoda, Chilopoda, and Pauropoda (other subclasses within the Myriapoda), the Symphyla have a …

Symphylans are insect relatives in the subphylum Atelocerata (Myriapoda), and are related to centipedes (Chilopoda) and millipedes (Diplopoda). They possess a single pair of Malpighian tubules, no median simple eyes, and have tomosvary organs (humidity and/or chemoreceptors). They also have musculated antenna and diffuse nervous systems.

Symphylans are small pseudocentipedes in the phylum Arthropoda and the subphylum Myriapoda. Though they resemble centipedes, they are much smaller ranging in size from 2 to 30 millimeters depending on location, and are translucent in color [1]. Colored symphyla only occur when they absorb color from food, usually yellow or red [2].
