天鹅绒蠕虫，或指甲虫，是在进化研究中非常重要的动物。这是他们研究的第一部历史。它们由兰斯当·桂丁（1797-1831）描述。本文确定了近200年来他们在世界范围内研究的里程碑。最初，1826-1879年，主要是由著名的法国博物学家，如米尔恩-爱德华兹和布兰查德，用轻微的误检来描述他们的解剖学。在1880-1929年，他的工作集中在解剖学、生理学、行为学、生物地理学和生态学上，但最重要的工作是布维尔的巨著。下一个时期，即1930-1979年，是发现寒武纪物种的重要时期；Vachons解释古代分布如何定义两个家族的存在；巴西的DNA和电子显微镜先驱；以及利用胚胎学或孤立解剖学特征进行系统学的原始尝试。最后，1980-2020年期间，研究集中在澳大利亚、巴西、哥斯达黎加和德国，标志着对一切事物的进化方法，从身体和行为到分布；解决了他们如何形成胶网和胶水如何工作的老问题；寒武纪甲藻群落的重建--首次实验研究；第一份全国保护状况地图（来自哥斯达黎加）；他们为什么在城市生存的第一个模型；发现食物隐藏、父母喂养投资和个体饮食转移等新现象；为了一个新的研究分支--Onychophoran Etnobiology的诞生，该分支成立于2015年，

英文摘要：
  Velvet worms, or onychophorans, are animals of extraordinary importance in the study of evolution. This is the first history of their study. They were described by Lansdown Guilding (1797-1831). This paper identifies the landmarks of their study, in a worldwide level, for almost 200 years. The beginning, 1826-1879, was based on describing their anatomy with light miscroscopy, mostly by famous French naturalists such as Milne-Edwards and Blanchard. In 1880-1929 peiord, work concentrated in anatomy, physiology, behavior, biogeography and ecology, but the most important work was Bouvier`s mammoth monograph. The next period, 1930-1979, was important for the discovery of Cambrian species; Vachons explanation of how ancient distribution defined the existence of two families; Pioneer DNA and electron microscopy from Brazil; and primitive attempts at systematics using embryology or isolated anatomical characteristics. Finally, the 1980-2020 period, with research centered in Australia, Brazil, Costa Rica and Germany, is marked by an evolutionary approach to everything, from body and behavior to distribution; for the solution of the old problem of how they form their adhesive net and how the glue works; the reconstruction of Cambrian onychophoran communities, the first experimental taphonomy; the first countrywide map of conservation status (from Costa Rica); the first model of why they survive in cities; the discovery of new phenomena like food hiding, parental feeding investment and ontogenetic diet shift; and for the birth of a new research branh, Onychophoran Etnobiology, founded in 2015,
