Euperipatoides kanangrensis (Reid, 1996)

Euperipatoides kanangrensis is a species of velvet worm of the family Peripatopsidae, described in 1996 from specimens collected in Kanangra-Boyd National Park, New South Wales. This species has 15 pairs of legs in both sexes. ^[1] It is endemic to Australia. The embryonic development of Euperipatoideskanangrensis has been described. ^{[2] [3]} This species is viviparous. ^[4] This species is used as model organism for the last common ancestor of the Panarthropoda. It resembles fossil Cambrian lobopodians. ^[5]
