.
accepted valid name
Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily DIASPIDINAE Tribe DIASPIDINI Subtribe FIORINIINA (Normark, et al., 2019)
This genus is very similar to Lineaspis MacGillvray, but remarkably different from the latter in having extraordinarily elongated marginal gland spines on the pygidium and in contradiction with this, in lacking gland spines between the median trullae. The anus is situated much anteriorly to the level of the vulva, and this may also be adopted as a diagnostic character. (Takagi, 2007a)
- Structure: Adult female body elongate, rather slender, with pygidium roundish along margin. Median trullae small, pointed a[ically, notched on each side, separated from each other by a space about as wide as one of them and parallel to each other, basally with no yoke connecting them. (Takagi, 2007a)
