What is the subphylum of arthropods?
Under phylum Arthropoda are several subphyla including subphylum Hexapoda which contains class Insecta (the insects); and Myriapoda which contains class Chilipoda (the centipedes) and class Diplopoda (the millipedes).
What animals are in the arthropod class hexapoda?
The Hexapoda subphylum has a couple classes, Insecta with all the insects, and Class Entognatha, which have mouthparts retracted into the head; below which are significantly smaller wingless groups: Collembola, Protura, and Diplura. Some of these groups were formerly classified under Insecta. Partly based on recent research, there is still debate about classes under hexapoda, some models will show up to four sub groups including those of uncertain classification.
