Epiperipatus biolleyi is a species of velvet worm in the Peripatidae family.[1] This species is red, without any pattern, on its dorsal surface.[2] Females of this species have 28 to 32 pairs of legs; males have 25 to 30.[3] Females range from 18 mm to 75 mm in length, with a mean length of 52 mm, whereas males range from 18 mm to 55 mm, with a mean length of 38 mm.[3] The type locality is in Costa Rica.[4]
