Currently, the number of valid species of Onychophora is uncertain. To facilitate taxonomic work on this understudied animal group, we present an updated checklist for the two extant onychophoran subgroups, Peripatidae and Peripatopsidae , along with an assessment of the status of each species. According to our study, 82 species of Peripatidae and 115 species of Peripatopsidae have been described thus far. However, among these 197 species, 20 are nomina dubia due to major taxonomic inconsistencies. Apart from nomina dubia , many of the valid species also require revision, in particular representatives of Paraperipatus within the Peripatopsidae , and nearly all species of Peripatidae . In addition to extant representatives, the record of unambiguous fossils includes three species with uncertain relationship to the extant taxa. For all species, we provide a list of synonyms, information on types and type localities, as well as remarks on taxonomic and nomenclatural problems and misspellings. According to recent evidence of high endemism and cryptic speciation among the Peripatidae and Peripatopsidae , previous synonyms are revised. Putative mutations, subspecies and variations are either raised to the species status or synonymised with corresponding taxa. In our revised checklist, we follow the rules and recommendations of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature to clarify previous inconsistencies.

“…Corrosive sublimate (HgCI2) was one of the first reagents to be used as a tissue preservative and fixative in histology (Blanchard, 1847). Braus (1896) appears to have been the first to use a mixture of formaldehyde and mercuric chloride.…”

The use of mercuric chloride as an histological fixative was associated with high environmental atmospheric concentrations of mercury vapour (up to 0 5 nmol/l) as well as mercury compounds (total Hg up to 10 nmol/l). Technicians exposed to this environment showed increased urinary mercury (median value 265 nmol/24h) and protein outputs (median value 117 mg protein/24h). Routine control measures, ventilation and careful handling of mercuric chloride solutions, reduced the level of atmospheric mercury vapour levels to within acceptable limits (threshold limit values 0-01 mg/m3 (0 05 nmol/l) alkyl compounds and 0 05 mg/m3 (0.25 nmol/l) for all forms except alkyl). This reduction was associated with the disappearance of trace proteinuria from the technicians' urine. Contamination of histology laboratories by mercuric chloride should be minimised.

“…In 1809, Rudolphi created the genus Oxyuris for a horse pinworm, which he called Oxyuris curvula. O. curvula proved to be identical to the nematode previously described by Schrank, and, based on the rule of priority, was renamed O. equi (Schrank, 1788) by Blanchard (1849). Later, several parasite species closely related to O. equi were described from equid hosts.…”
