Systematics: Adult females of Duplachionaspis milleri are similar to D. distichlii, but differ in the following characters: numerous dorsal ducts present in D. distichlii which are much smaller than marginal macroducts (these small ducts fewer in D. milleri); 3 gland spines usually present on segments 6 and 7 in D. milleri, but 2 in D. distichlii; and 1-3 pores near anterior spiracle in D. milleri, but 3-8 in D. distichlii (Howell, 1978).
Structure: Adult female elongate-oval, prepygidial abdominal segments faintly lobed laterally, derm membranous throughout except for pygidium (Howell, 1978).
General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Howell (1978).
