The symphylids, like small Centipedes, have 8-10 pairs of legs in their adult form. They are different to centipedes though, and their numerous abdominal segments, mouthparts and head appendages make them more similar to the primitive (apterygote) insects. Typically, they grow to about 10mm long.
Sowbugs also have 10 pairs of legs. These are crustaceans though.

Crustaceans like crabs, lobsters and shrimp have ten legs - not ten pairs of legs - and are therefore called "decapods". There are no animals that consistently have ten pairs of legs, though there may be some small centipede relative that has about that number. Centipedes typically have many more legs that that however.
