Description: A modification of the map by Hannes Grobe Map posted at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gondwana115Ma_hg.png The map has the gondwanan distribution of the onycophora superimposed on it, based on information taken from http://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/research/biosystematics/invertebrates/onychophora/index.asp

The green and yellow in this image represent the two families of onychophora (= velvet worms). The modern locations of these families reflect the locations of their fossils on the old Gondwanan super continent .
