Ooperipatellus is a genus of Australia n and New Zealand velvet worms in the Peripatopsidae family.[1] Species in this genus are oviparous.[2] Most species in this genus have 14 pairs of legs, but O. nanus has only 13 pairs,[3][4][5] which is the minimum number found in the phylum Onychophora.[6] Velvet worms in this genus are among the smallest known, with adults often only 10 to 20 millimeters long.[5] Morphological and molecular data indicate that this genus is a monophyletic group.[5]
Species
The genus contains the following species:[1][7][8]
- Ooperipatellus decoratus (Baehr, 1977)
- Ooperipatellus duwilensis Reid, 1996
- Ooperipatellus insignis (Dendy, 1890)
- Ooperipatellus nanus Ruhberg, 1985
- Ooperipatellus nickmayeri Oliveira & Mayer, 2017
- Ooperipatellus parvus Reid, 1996
- Ooperipatellus spenceri Cockerell, 1913
- Ooperipatellus viridimaculatus (Dendy, 1900)
Ooperipatellus cryptus Jackson & Taylor, 1994 is considered a nomen dubium by Oliveira et al., 2012.
