Peripatus /pəˈrɪpətəs/ is a genus of velvet worms in the Peripatidae family.^[1] The name "peripatus" (unitalicised and uncapitalised) is also used to refer to the Onychophora as a whole, although this group comprises many other genera besides Peripatus. The genus Peripatus is found in Central America, the Caribbean and northern South America.^[1] This genus is viviparous, with mothers supplying nourishment to their embryos through a placenta.^[2]
