Mesogastropoda Opiliones
Geophilomorpha Polydesmida and Anoplura were the rare groups (less than 1.00%).
To support the study and better understanding of the group, this paper provides a visual guide supported with descriptions of some characters from each family to determine the four orders (Scutigeromorpha, Lithobiomorpha, Scolopendromorpha and
Geophilomorpha) and 16 families that occur in the country.
Additional tests showed that the Coleoptera, Dermaptera, Dictyoptera,
Geophilomorpha, Hymenoptera, Juliformia, Lepidoptera, and Polydesmida had distributions in compound space significantly different from the mass of the data.
