Planipapillus mundus is a species of velvet worm in the family Peripatopsidae.[1] This species has 15 pairs of legs in both sexes.[2] It is found in New South Wales, Australia.[3] Mating in this species occurs via the head-to-tail configuration, in which the male uses its head to inseminate the female's gonopore.[4]
