Peripatopsidae
Peripatopsidae is one of the two living velvet worm families. Description The Peripatopsidae exhibit relatively many characteristics that are perceived as original or "primitive" with respect to the Peripatidae. The number of leg pairs in this family range from as few as 13 (in ''Ooperipatellus nanus'') to as many as 29 (in ''Paraperipatus papuensis''). Behind or between the last leg pair is the genital opening (gonopore). Both oviparous and ovoviviparous, as well as genuinely viviparous, species exist, although the Peripatopsidae essentially lack a placenta. Distribution The distribution of the Peripatopsidae is circumaustral; in particular, they inhabit Australasia, South Africa and Chile. Genera The family contains the following genera: * '' Acanthokara'' Reid, 1996 * '' Aethrikos'' Reid, 1996 * '' Aktinothele'' Reid, 1996 * ''Anoplokaros'' Reid, 1996 * '' Austroperipatus'' Baehr, 1977 * '' Baeothele'' Reid, 1996 * ''Centrorumis'' Reid, 1996 * '' Cephalofovea'' Ruhberg et al ...

Onychophora
Onychophora (from grc, ονυχής, , "claws"; and , , "to carry"), commonly known as velvet worms (due to their velvety texture and somewhat wormlike appearance) or more ambiguously as peripatus (after the first described genus, '' Peripatus''), is a phylum of elongate, soft-bodied, many-legged panarthropods. In appearance they have variously been compared to worms with legs, caterpillars, and slugs. They prey upon other invertebrates, which they catch by ejecting an adhesive slime. Approximately 200 species of velvet worms have been described, although the true number of species is likely greater. The two extant families of velvet worms are Peripatidae and Peripatopsidae. They show a peculiar distribution, with the peripatids being predominantly equatorial and tropical, while the peripatopsids are all found south of the equator. It is the only phylum within Animalia that is wholly endemic to terrestrial environments, at least among extant members. Velvet worms are generally c ...
