Planipapillus is a genus of velvet worms in the family Peripatopsidae, whose species are found in eastern Victoria and southeastern New South Wales, Australia .[1] They are unique in that the males of this genus may bear patches of reduced papillae on the head, posterior to the eyes; the generic name refers to this fact, and likewise they have been vernacularly referred to as lawn-headed onychophorans.[2] All species in this genus are oviparous and have 15 pairs of legs.[1]
Species
The genus was erected in 1996 by Amanda L. Reid to accommodate four contemporarily described species, of which P. taylori was designated the type species.[1] Reid described and assigned a further eight species to Planipapillus in 2000,[3] and Douch and Reid described an additional species in 2023,[4] producing the count of 13 species recognised today. These species are listed below:
- Planipapillus absonus Douch & Reid, 2023
- Planipapillus annae Reid, 2000
- Planipapillus berti Reid, 2000
- Planipapillus biacinaces Reid, 1996
- Planipapillus biacinoides Reid, 2000
- Planipapillus bulgensis Reid, 1996
- Planipapillus cyclus Reid, 2000
- Planipapillus gracilis Reid, 2000
- Planipapillus impacris Reid, 2000
- Planipapillus mundus Reid, 1996
- Planipapillus taylori Reid, 1996
- Planipapillus tectus Reid, 2000
- Planipapillus vittatus Reid, 2000
