Systematics: Aulacaspis guiyangensis is similar to A. spinosa in body shape and the distribution of dorsal macroducts, but can be distinguished by the following characteristics of the adult female (character states of A. spinosa in brackets): (i) abd. IV with marginal gland spines on each side numbering 3 or 4 (3–12); and (ii) lateral gland spines on each side of abd. II and III together numbering 11–17, these of normal length (each side of II and III together with usually more than 20 gland spines, these decidedly elongate). (Tian & Xing, 2022)
Structure: Slide-mounted adult female body 1100–1220 (1107) μm long, 640–780 (645) μm wide, prosoma swollen into an eminent mass, rather square in outline, about the same length as width, widest sub-basally, distinctly wider than postsoma; prosomatic tubercles blunt, frontal margin between prosomatic tubercles rounded, lateral margins posterior to tubercles convex and sloping outwards; metathorax and abd. I approximately equal in width; abd. II protruding laterally, wider than I; posterior abdomen gradually tapering towards posterior end; pygidial margin slightly convex. (Tian & Xing, 2022)
