Ooperipatellus spenceri (
Cockerell, 1913)
|
Ooperipatellus spenceri is a species of velvet worm in the family Peripatopsidae. This species has 14 pairs of legs. [1] Although found in Tasmania, Australia, [2] these velvet worms were first assigned to O. insignis, a similar species found in Victoria, Australia, [1] before being named as a separate species. [3] Authorities recognize O. spenceri as a different species, noting the significant distance (652 km) between the type localities of these two species and their separation by the Bass Strait. [3]
