There does not seem to be a well-known taxonomic class spelled Pedes.. but there is a genus Pedius under Arthropoda, which are beetles in the family Carabidae. The Greek -ped or some variants like -pede or -pod reflects the phylum name's origin, from "foot" or "leg" - arthropoda thus meaning, jointed legs (appendages).

Insects
Most species? Insecta, and within that, beetles, by far.
The arthropods fall into a categorization (taxon) called a phylum (in taxonomic nomenclature there is an entity called a 'class' which is below the phyla). Arthropods have segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
