Pasipha chimbeva is a species of land planarian belonging to the subfamily Geoplaninae. [1] It is found within Brazil.
Pasipha chimbeva, in movement, can reach up to around 7 cm in length. The body in motion is narrow, tapering towards the anterior. The margins are parallel. The dorsum is an orange color, with white unpigmented spots. The tips of the body are brown in color. There are sparse brown speckles along the back as well. The ventral side of the body is a light orange. [2]
The specific epithet of chimbeva is taken from the Tupi language words tim and mbé, literally meaning "flattened snout", in reference to the shape of the anterior tip of the body. [3]

Epiperipatus barbadensis is a species of velvet worm in the Peripatidae family, first described based on specimens from Barbados. It is one of the velvet worms that most often is kept in captivity, and was the first member of the Peripatidae family to be successfully maintained by hobbyist invertebrate keepers; it is easier to keep than the majority of other velvet worm species that have been tried, but still has specialized requirements that resemble those necessary for keeping poison dart frogs. E. barbadensis is social, nocturnal and viviparous, can live for several years, and feeds on small invertebrates that are caught by ejecting an adhesive slime from glands on their head.
