What is another word for symphyla?
Pronunciation: [sˈɪmfɪlə] (IPA) 
Symphyla is a group of small, soil-dwelling arthropods that are often referred to as "pseudocentipedes" or "symphylans". They are not true centipedes, but they do have a similar body shape with many legs. Other synonyms for symphyla include "garden centipedes", "glasshouse mountains", and "soil centipedes". The symphylan's body is made up of 15 to 23 segments, which include the head, thorax and abdomen. They have long antennae and mandibles that are used for feeding on soil fungi and plant roots. Although they do not cause significant damage to crops or gardens, they can become a nuisance if their populations grow too large.
