Arthropods belong to the phylum Arthropoda. There are several subphyla and classes of arthropods including the subphylum Chelicerata which includes classes like Arachnida which includes spiders, scorpions, and ticks; the subphylum Crustacea which includes things like shrimp and crabs; and the subphylum Hexapoda which includes insects. Arthropods do not fit into a single class because the term refers to any member of the phylum Arthropoda.

The term "arthropod" ("arthro" - jointed, "pod" - foot) refers to certain animals with jointed limbs, such as spiders, mites and crustaceans, so the question is a bit backward. You might better ask what classes belong to the phylum Arthropoda - and this would include Arachnida (SPIDERS), Chilopoda (CENTIPEDES), Diplopoda (MILLIPEDES), Crustacea (LOBSTERS, ETC.), Hexapoda, Entognatha and certain members of Insecta.
