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]
