MZT, MHNG (Sampaio-Costa et al., 2009).</p><p>Language of species description: Italian.</p><p>Taxonomic characteristics: Females are chocolatebrown dorsally, with light spots over papillae and a darker median longitudinal stripe; legs paler than the back; 26-27 paired legs; outer mandible three-toothed, inner mandible with four large teeth (Camerano 1897).</p><p>Remarks: Described from two specimens (Camerano 1897), this species requires thorough revision. Initially considered a pair of females by Camerano, they were later identified as two males by Bouvier (1905). Until recently, it was only known from the type locality. However, a recent report documented Oroperipatus balzani from a specimen collected in the State of Acre, Brazil, nearly 1000 km north of the type locality. This specimen is housed at the Museu Nacional de Rio de Janeiro (MNRJ) (Sampaio-Costa et al., 2009). Nevertheless, we treat this record cautiously due to the commonly accepted restricted distribution of most Onychophora .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BD87DEFF8F382DD14861F294CCD5AF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
