Systematics: Duplachionaspis mackenziei can be distinguished by the presence of the small microducts on segments 5 and 6 arranged in distinct rows and in small groups from 4th pygidial segment to apex to head. It is similar to D. distchlii in that the enlarged submarginal row of ventral setae are paired, but differs in the presence of the microducts on the dorsum. In Texas, it is similar to D. spartinae, but differs in that the enlarged submarginal row of setae are paired in D. mackenziei and single in D. spartinae (McDaniel, 1971).
Structure: Adult female with derm membranous, body elongate, perivulvar pores present in 5 groups (McDaniel, 1971).
General Remarks: Best description and illustration by McDaniel (1971).
