    CLASSIFICATION OF PHYLUM ARTHROPODA UPTO CLASSES & POSITION OF

    INSECTS IN ANIMAL KINGDOM AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER ARTHROPODA

    Insects are invertebrates grouped in the phylum Arthropoda (Subphylum : Uniramia)

    Characters of the Phylum Arthropoda: (Arthro-joint, poda-foot)

    i. Segmented body

    ii. Segments grouped into 2 or 3 regions known as Tagmosis

    iii. Renewable chitinous exoskeleton

    iv. Grow by moulting

    v. Bilateral symmetry

    vi. Body cavity filled with blood-Haemocoel

    vii. Tubular alimentary canal with mouth and anus

    viii. Dorsal heart with ostia

    ix. Dorsal brain with ventral nerve cord

    x. Striated muscles

    xi. No cilia

    xii. Paired segmented appendages

    Classification: 7 classes.

    Phylum : Arthropoda

    Classes :

    1. Onychophora (claw bearing)e.g. Peripatus

    2. Crustacea (Crusta - shell)e.g. Prawn, crab, wood louse

    3. Arachnida (Arachne - spider)e.g. Scorpion, spider, tick, mite

    4. Chilopoda (Chilo - lip; poda - appendage)e.g. Centipedes

    5. Diplopoda (Diplo - two; poda- - appendage)e.g. Millipede

    6. Trilobita (an extinct group)


    7. Hexapoda or Insectae.g. Insects.
