Systematics: this species is readily distinguishable from the other species of Annonogena in having an echinate body in the second-instar female. (Takagi, 2008)
Structure: Adult female no postspiracular ducts observed. Pygidium with rudimentary lines forming an obscure pattern on dorsal margin; marginal ducts 5-10 on each side, 11-19 in total. Second-instar female (exuvial cast) prepygidial region equipped with a number of processes over a broad pleural area, which are swollen basally and abruptly narrowed to form an elongate spinous apical part; with about 20 ducts scattered submarginally on ventral surface on each side. Second-instar male pygidium apically with a pair of low sclerotic prominences (probably representing median trullae). (Takagi, 2008)
