Systematics: Duplachionaspis ugandae is distinguished by the nature of the pygidial lobes, which are squat and relatively inconspicuous (Hall, 1946).
Structure: Scale of adult female creamy white, moderately convex and much broadened posteriorly although the true shape is uncertain as scales were quite crowded together. Scale is thin, with faint transverse striations. Exuviae very pale brown and usually masked by a thin film of white secretionary matter. Ventral scale thin, white and entire, except for a small hole anteriorly in some individuals. Male scale small, white, parallel-sided, uncarinated, with pale brown exuviae. Adult female fusiform with sclerotization confined to the pygidial region (Hall, 1946).
