Tetramerocerata

	Tetramerocerata Tetramerocerata is an order of pauropods containing 12 different families and about 480 different species. Tetrameroceratans have a 12 segmented body, 4 segmented antennae, 6 tergites, and 8 to10 legs pairs of legs as adults. Most pauropods in this order have 9 leg pairs as adults, but four genera (''Cauvetauropus'', ''Aletopauropus'', ''Zygopauropus'', and ''Amphipauropus'') have only 8 pairs, and adult females in the genus ''Decapauropus'' (in the Pauropodidae Pauropodidae is a family of pauropods.

Pauropods in this order are generally 0.5 mm to 2 mm long, and are usually white or brown. Tetramerocerata has a subcosmopolitan distribution, occurring nearly worldwide.

picture info	Pauropods Pauropods are small, pale, millipede-like arthropods. Around 830 species in twelve families are found worldwide, living in soil and leaf mold. They look rather like centipedes, or millipedes, and may be a sister group of the latter. However, this is controversial, as a close relationship with Symphyla has also been posited. Anatomy and ecology Pauropods are soft, cylindrical animals with bodies long. They have neither eyes nor hearts, although they do have sensory organs which can detect light. The body segments have ventral tracheal/spiracular pouches forming apodemes similar to those in millipedes and Symphyla, although the trachea usually connected to these structures are absent in most species. There are long sensory hairs located throughout the body segments. Pauropods can usually be identified because of their distinctive anal plate, which is unique to pauropods. Different species of pauropods can be identified based on the size and shape of their anal plate. The antenn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

The first pauropod discovered with more than 9 pairs of legs was the species ''D. cuenoti'', first described with 10 pairs in 1931.

	Eurypauropodidae Eurypauropodidae is a family of pauropods. The family was first described by the American zoologist John A. Ryder during October 1873. Eurypauropodids are generally less than 1 millimeter long, and their outer plates are usually completely sclerotised Sclerotin is a component of the cuticle of various Arthropoda, most familiarly insects. It is formed by cross-linking members of particular classes of protein molecules, a biochemical process called sclerotization, a form of tanning in which qui ....
