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]
