Euperipatoides rowelli is an ovoviviparous species of velvet worm of the Peripatopsidae family.

Its main habitat are decaying logs on the forest floor, where it lives in crevices and feeds on small invertebrates, such as termites and crickets.

[5][6] Specimens are rarely found alone, usually forming groups of a few individuals containing females, males, and juveniles.

Laboratory observations on behavior concluded that these groups present some sort of hierarchy with dominant females.

[9] Due to its abundance in its native habitat, E. rowelli is becoming a model organism in the study of behavior and ecology, and especially of gene expression and evolution, leading to a better understanding on the evolution of animals and especially arthropods, to which velvet worms are closely related.
