Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily DIASPIDINAE Tribe LEPIDOSAPHIDINI (Normark, et al., 2019)
Andaspis is closely related to Lepidosaphes, from which it differs in the form of the median lobes (Williams & Watson, 1988). Williams & Brookes (1995) provide a historical review of Andaspis and related genera. Takagi, 2003, stated that about 40 species are known in Andaspis , but several species, especially those described from South Africa, may not be referable to this genus.
Pararaoaspis (as originally described by Borchsenius, 1967) was allied to Andaspis, but females of the former are distinguished by the broad 2nd lobes and by the shape and arrangement of the dorsal ducts (Borchsenius, 1967). Pararaoaspis was designated a junior synonym of Andaspis 1970 by Takagi. This genus is apparently very close to Lepidosaphes Shimer, but most species are bark-burrowing. Andaspis, as compared with Lepidosaphes, is especially characteristic in the shape of the median trullae. (Takagi, 2003)
- Structure: Female scale brownish. Adult female with 2 pairs pygidial lobes; 2nd broad, internal lobule as wide as or wider than median lobes, with strongly sclerotized bases. Margins of the lobes finely crenate. 6 pairs of pygidial curved ducts. Dorsal ducts of moderate length, slender (Borchsenius, 1967).
Andaspis with median lobes prominent and close together, with small gland spines between; the inner edges short, diverging to long oblique outer margins. The ventral paraphyses on the median lobes are variously shaped, often transverse and sometimes in addition, a club-shaped paraphysis arises from the basal angle or from the middle basal part of lobe. 2nd lobes usually reduced to points or lacking. Marginal macroducts enlarged, number 4-6 (Williams & Watson, 1988).
- General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Borchsenius (1967).
