Systematics: Fully grown adult female very similar to Aulacaspis yahunikkei in bocy shape and other features. Both species, Aulacaspis yahunikkei and A. neolitseae have the prosoma moderately swollen and the prepygidial region of the postsoma roughly parallel on the lateral sides. A. sirodamo at full growth is relatively stout with the prosoma and postsoma more broadened and the metathorax and first two abcominal segments more strongly lobed laterally than in the other two species. Aulacaspis yahunikkei and A. neolitseae are very similar to each other in the median trullae; in Aulacaspis yahunikkei these trullae are nearly of the same width throughout and definitely exceeded by the side macroducts in height; A. neolitseae differs from Aulacaspis yahunikkei in the median trullae slightly attenuating subapically and scarcely exceeded by the side macroducts in height. (Takagi, 2014)
Structure: Submedian macroducts usually 1 or 2, occasionally 3 or 4, and sometimes non in each of segmental and infrasegmental series on abd III and IV, 1 or sometimes 2, rarely non on V, usually non, sometimes 1 on VI; submarginal macroducts i or 2, sometimes 3 or 4, on each of abdd III-V. Median trullae slightly attenuating subapically; marginal macroducts of abd VII scarcely extending anteriorly beyone bases of median trullae. (Takagi, 2014)
