   A class of air-breathing Arthropoda; -- called also
   Protracheata, and Onychophora.

   Note: They somewhat resemble myriapods, and have from
         seventeen to thirty-three pairs of short, imperfectly
         jointed legs, two pairs of simple jaws, and a pair of
         antennae. The trancheae are connected with numerous
         spiracles scattered over the surface of the body.
         Peripatus is the only known genus. See Peripatus.
