Leucopatus

Leucopatus is a genus of velvet worm in the family Peripatopsidae, containing a single species, the blind velvet worm (Leucopatus anophthalmus).

[6][7] The generic name Leucopatus refers to the species' white colouration.

The specific name anophthalmus refers to this species' lack of eyes.

[8] The body is entirely white except for the tips of claws and jaws, which are dark brown.

[8] Typical habitat is beneath stones and rotten logs in sclerophyllous forests and shrubland.
