[Taxacom] What's missing from this picture?

[Bob Mesibov]

Jim Croft asked:

"Your manypedes aren't paraphyletic, are they?"

There are still pockets of resistance in deepest Europe, but most specialists are happy with Myriapoda as a monophyletic taxon. Myriapoda = Chilopoda+Diplopoda+Pauropoda+Symphyla, each of which is also solidly monophyletic.
