Scope note: Clase de artrópodos del subfilo Myriapoda que comprende los centípedos y los milípedos. La clase Chilopoda, o quilópodos, a los que se conoce comúnmente como centípedos o ciempiés, se caracterizan por cuerpos largos multisegmentados en los que cada segmento tiene un par de patas. La mayoría de los centípedos son predadores y venenosos. Aunque las mordeduras de centípedos solo suelen causar dolor, irritación y reacciones alérgicas, en ocasiones causan HIPERTENSIÓN aguda e ISQUEMIA MIOCÁRDICA.
