Systematics: This species is near Africaspis communis and A. terminaliae, but may be distinguished from both species by the more numerous anterior parastigmatic pores. It can also be distinguished from A. communis in the shape of the median lobes and from A. terminaliae by the shorter microducts on the inner end of the marginal macroducts of segments (vi) and (vii) (Munting, 1967).
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Munting (1967).
