Lathropatus is a monospecific genus of ovoviviparous velvet worm containing the single species Lathropatus nemorum. The type locality of this species is Cobboboonee National Park, Victoria, Australia. [1] This species has 15 pairs of oncopods (legs). [2]
Peripatopsidae is one of the two living velvet worm families. This family includes more than 140 described species distributed among 41 genera, but some authorities deem only 131 of these species to be valid. The French zoologist Eugène Louis Bouvier proposed this family in 1905 with Peripatopsis as the type genus.
Ooperipatus is a genus of Australian velvet worms in the Peripatopsidae family. All species in this genus are oviparous and have 15 pairs of oncopods (legs).
Ooperipatellus duwilensis is a species of velvet worm in the family Peripatopsidae. This species has 14 pairs of legs. It is found in Victoria, Australia.
Ooperipatellus insignis is a species of velvet worm in the family Peripatopsidae. Females of this species range from 5 mm to 39 mm in length, while males range from 4 mm to 30 mm in length. This species has 14 pairs of legs and is found in Victoria, Australia.

Planipapillus annae is a species of velvet worm in the Peripatopsidae family. This species is oviparous, has 15 pairs of legs, and lives in and under logs in dry woodland. It is found in Victoria, Australia.
Planipapillus biacinaces is a species of velvet worm in the Peripatopsidae family. This species has 15 pairs of legs in both sexes. It is found in Victoria, Australia.
Planipapillus bulgensis is a species of velvet worm in the Peripatopsidae family. This species has 15 pairs of legs in both sexes. It is found in Victoria, Australia.
Planipapillus cyclus is a species of velvet worm in the Peripatopsidae family. This species is oviparous, has 15 pairs of legs, and lives in logs in wet forests. It is found in Victoria, Australia.
Planipapillus gracilis is a species of velvet worm in the Peripatopsidae family. This species is oviparous, has 15 pairs of legs, and lives in and under dry pieces of timber. It is found in Victoria, Australia.
Planipapillus tectus is a species of velvet worm in the Peripatopsidae family. This species is oviparous, has 15 pairs of legs, and lives under logs in dry forests. It is found in Victoria, Australia.
Planipapillus vittatus is a species of velvet worm in the Peripatopsidae family. This species is oviparous, has 15 pairs of legs, and lives under dry logs. It is found in Victoria, Australia.
Planipapillus mundus is a species of velvet worm in the Peripatopsidae family. This species has 15 pairs of legs in both sexes. It is found in New South Wales, Australia. Mating in this species occurs via the head-to-tail configuration, in which the male uses its head to inseminate the female's gonopore.
Ooperipatellus spenceri is a species of velvet worm in the family Peripatopsidae. This species has 14 pairs of legs. Although found in Tasmania, Australia, these velvet worms were first assigned to O. insignis, a similar species found in Victoria, Australia, before being named as a separate species. Authorities recognize O. spenceri as a different species, noting the significant distance between the type localities of these two species and their separation by the Bass Strait.
