Ooperipatellus
Ooperipatellus is a genus of Australian and New Zealand velvet worms in the Peripatopsidae family.[1] Species in this genus are oviparous.[2] Velvet worms in this genus are among the smallest known, with adults often only 10 to 20 millimeters long.[3] Morphology and molecular data indicate that this genus is a monophyletic group.[3]
