Systematics: According to Leonardi (1914) this species, which was described from a single specimen, differs from Selenaspidus ferox Lindinger, by the shape of the projections occurring on the cephalic margin and by the more numerous perivulvar pores. Mamet (1958a) noted that no specimens of this species were available for his revision, and therefore did not give an opinion on the status of S. perspinosus.
Structure: Leonardi (1914) did not describe the scale cover.
General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Leonardi (1914).
