Systematics: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:5685916A-CDD0-448F-A4BD-D 38EF9B8E7D7 (Hardy & Henderson, 2011)
P. narungga is the only species of Poliaspis in which the adult females lack gland spines, but gland tubercles are numerous in submarginal areas of the abdomen and thorax, including a cluster anterior to the anterior spiracle. Also distinctive are (1) the lack of differentiation between marginal and dorsal ducts, and (2) the dorsal macroducts on the pygidium not being arranged into distinct submedial and submarginal clusters. (Hardy & Henderson, 2011)
Structure: Slide-mounted adult female body outline elongate oval. Pygidium with 2 pairs of lobes; median lobes zygotic, parallel, lobes connected via narrow sclerotic strap, each lobe ca. as wide as long, pointed, smaller than second lobes, margin between lobes not incised; second lobe bi-lobed, each lobule triangular, with blunt or pointed tip. (Hardy & Henderson, 2011)
