Systematics: This species is similar to Andaspis naracola in the characters of the apex of the pygidium, but easily distinguishable from the latter by having microducts between the posterior spiracles, by lacking dorsal ducts on Abd. VII, etc. It may be distinguishable from A. dasi (=A. numerata) by lacking dorsal boss on Abd. III, by having fewer dorsal ducts on the pygidium, etc. It may also be close to A. numerata, but judging from Brimblecombe's description, distinguishable by the pygidial dorsal ducts and perivulvar pores less numerous (Takagi & Kawai, 1966).
General Remarks: Description and illustration by Takagi & Kawai (1966).
