What is a velvet worm? Velvet worms are terrestrial, soft-bodied, many-legged carnivores. They form the phylum Onychophora (‘claw bearers’ — each of their many limbs terminates in paired claws).

One particular challenge is the position of myriapods as either the closest relatives to chelicerates (Paradoxopoda/Myriochelata hypothesis), or to crustaceans and hexapods (Mandibulata hypot...
