Scooters ^[1] ( lat. Scutigeromorpha ) - a detachment of predatory millipedes from the class of the leg - footed . 3 families and about 100 species, including well-known representatives, such as the common flycatcher ( Scutigera coleoptrata ), which has spread throughout the world ^[2] . Monophilia scutigeromorph is confirmed by many unique features. The respiratory system is distinguished by the location of the spiracles on the posterior edge of the tergites . They have very long lateral antennas ^[3] . They are the only among all millipedes in which hemocyanin is used for oxygen transfer ^[4] . 8 elongated tergal plates cover 15 segments of the body that carry 15 pairs of legs. The eyes are faceted, the ultrastructure of which resembles the eyes of insects and crustaceans ^[5] . Run fast: the speed of movement of some species reaches 40 cm per second ^[6] . Females lay one egg each. Emerging juveniles initially have only 4 pairs of active limbs ^[2] .

Content

Paleontology

Squad Scutigeromorpha is one of the oldest centipedes millipedes ^[7] . Extremities typical of its representatives were found in the Silurian and Devonian deposits of Wales, Scotland and the USA ^[8] .

Systematics

About 100 valid species, 26 genera and subgenera and 3 families. They represent a monophyletic group, one ( Notostigmophora ) of the two main branches of the evolutionary tree of modern millipedes (all the other orders belong to the second Pleurostigmophora ) ^[3] ^[9] .
