Onychophora are the accepted sister group of arthropods. Nelson (2018) analyzed the CYPome of Euperipatoides rowelli, and reported the presence of a CYP51 (sterol 14-demethylase) that is absent from nematodes and arthropods, a CYP20 and a CYP26, along with representatives of the four usual CYP clans. No conserved CYP302, CYP314, CYP306, but two distant CYP315-like sequences and a CYP18-like sequence are found.

A selection of 27 full length sequences from Euperipatoides kanagrensis and Euperipatoides rowelli is presented in FASTA format. This does not represent the full CYPome of velvet worms. Nelson (2018) estimates the CYPome size to be 89.
