Succinipatopsis
Eocene-aged genus of velvet worms / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Succinipatopsis is an extinct genus, originally described as an onychophoran known from Eocene-aged Baltic amber. The only known species is Succinipatopsis balticus.[1] However, other authors have doubted its status as an onchyophoran, due to its skin not closely resembling that of onchyophorans, and lacking any diagnostic characters of the group.[2]
