Myriapods are the centipedes and millipedes. They have a variable number of leg bearing segments. In the millipede the number is more than in the centipedes.The word myriapoda has its origin from--'myriad' meaning an indefinite number and 'poda' meaning legs. Even if one counts it will be variable in the different species.
