Note that in some texts the subphyla may be referred to as classes; occasionally the taxonomic discipline appears somewhat fluid.

Arthropoda has subphyla Chelicerata, Myriapoda, Crustacea, and Hexapoda. (There is also an extinct class Marrellomorpha and an the extinct Trilobite subphylum). The chelicerata, like Spiders, scorpions, mites, etc., get their name from having appendages appear before the mouth; myriapods like centipedes and millipedes characterized by a high count of body segments and legs; crustaceans like crabs, shrimp, woodlice characterized by their biramous (two-part) limbs and a specialized larval form; hexapoda named for their consolidated thorax with only three pairs of legs.

Classes below phylum Arthropoda could be selected from these subphyla; for example classes Arachnida, Chilopoda, Branchiopod, Insecta, and Malacostraca - but there are many more classes.

What is the order for arthropods?

In taxonomy, arthropods would not be an order but a much larger grouping called a phylum (phylum Arthropoda). Taxa are hierarchical, with the smaller divisions below phyla being subphyla, and within them, the classes/subclasses, then below that, the Orders. You might say that phylum Arthropoda has a lot of orders "inside it."
