Genus of Peripatopsid velvet worms

Planipapillus Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Onychophora Family: Peripatopsidae Genus: Planipapillus Reid, 1996 Species See text

***Planipapillus*** is a genus of [velvet worms](/source/Onychophora) in the family [Peripatopsidae](/source/Peripatopsidae), whose species are found in eastern [Victoria](/source/Victoria%2C_Australia) and southeastern [New South Wales](/source/New_South_Wales), [Australia](/source/Australia).[1] They are unique in that the males of this genus may bear patches of reduced papillae on the head, posterior to the eyes; the generic name refers to this fact, and likewise they have been vernacularly referred to as **lawn-headed onychophorans**.[2] All species in this genus are [oviparous](/source/Oviparity) and have 15 pairs of legs.[1]

## Species

The genus was erected in 1996 by [Amanda L. Reid](/source/Amanda_Reid_(taxonomist)) to accommodate four contemporarily described species, of which *P. taylori* was designated the [type species](/source/Type_species).[1] Reid described and assigned a further eight species to *Planipapillus* in 2000,[3] and Douch and Reid described an additional species in 2023,[4] producing the count of 13 species recognised today. These species are listed below:
