Remarks
- Systematics: GenBank accession numbers DQ145338 and DQ145450 were previously determined to be Haliaspis asymmetrica, but Normark, et al., 2019, referred these numbers to Duplachionaspis divergens. Duplachionaspis asymmetrica is distinct from other North American species especially by the asymmetrical distribution of the dorsal ducts (Ferris, 1954).
- Structure: Adult female 1.0 mm long, pygidial lobes almost or quite concealed beneath the rolled-over margin of the body and thus scarcely distinguishable from the other irregularities of the margin, very short and apically rounded (Ferris, 1954).
- General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Ferris (1954).
