Systematics: Subfamily DIASPIDINAE Tribe LEPIDOSAPHIDINI (Normark, et al., 2019) Vinculaspis is evidently a member of the series of which Pseudoparlatoria may be taken as type, the curious forked median gland spine and the arrangement of the macroducts of the pygidium being distinctive of this group (Ferris, 1941d).
Structure: Female scale composed of the 2nd exuviae, at the anterior end of which lies the 1st exuviae, but there is a very thin waxy covering over all. Male scale elongate, white, exuviae at one end. Adult female membranous throughout, even the dorsum of the pygidium weakly sclerotized. Median pygidial lobes separated, between them, at least in 2nd stage being the forked gland spine which is characteristic of the Pseudoparlatoria series. 2nd lobes present, toothed, faintly divided into two lobes. 3rd lobe indicated merely by a marginal sclerotization. Dorsal pygidial macroducts present both along the margin and in a submarginal zone in the type species, absent in the other included species. Body of the adult female in the type having a very definitely triangular form, less so in the other included species. Perivulvar pores present in five groups (Ferris, 1941d).
General Remarks: Detailed description by Ferris (1941d).
