(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2010)
Onychophorans, or velvet worms, are poorly known and rare animals. Here we report the discovery of a new species that is also the largest onychophoran found so far, a 22cm long female from the Caribbean coastal forest of ...

“fósiles vivientes” porque durante
más de 500 millones de años su
morfología ha cambiado muy poco

Unexplored Character Diversity in Onychophora (Velvet Worms): A Comparative Study of Three Peripatid Species
(Sars International Centre for Marine Molecular Biology, Norway, 2012-12-17)
Low character variation among onychophoran species has been an obstacle for taxonomic and phylogenetic studies in the past, however we have identified a number of new and informative characters using morphological, molecular, ...
