Systematics: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:CE451F43-C4AE-4EAD-9F5F-7CFCF10676A4 The adult female of Anotaspis paradisi resembles that of A. particula in being pupillarial, with multisetose antennae and a simple oval shape, without any gland spines, plates, lobes, or other appendages, and without pores by the anterior or posterior spiracles. The adult female of A. paradisi differs from A. particula in having perivulvar pores and ventral microducts (absent in A. particula). (Normark et al. 2025)
