Species
The genus contains the following described species:[2]
- Eoperipatus butleri Evans, 1901
- Eoperipatus horsti Evans, 1901
- Eoperipatus totoro Oliveira et al., 2013
- Eoperipatus weldoni Evans, 1901
Eoperipatus sumatranus (Sedgwick, 1888) is considered a nomen dubium by Oliveira et al. 2012.
An undescribed species is known to occur in Thailand. In addition, an unidentified onychophoran has also been observed in central Vietnam, north of the known distribution of Eoperipatus totoro. This may or may not represent a distinct species.[2]
gollark: It *also* matters how it's distributed.
gollark: I'm pretty sure you need information about what "X" is there.
gollark: I suppose you could just work out how many possible 50-move sequences exist somehow. There's definitely more than you could tractably store, at least.
gollark: Is it two images for the real and imaginary part or what?
gollark: pi ∈{3}
