accepted valid name
Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily DIASPIDINAE Tribe DIASPIDINI Subtribe FIORINIINA (Normark, et al., 2019)
Voraspis is similar to Rolaspis and Tecaspis (Hall, 1946a). The distribution of the dorsal ducts is one of the most important characters separating this genus from Rolaspis (Borchsenius & Williams, 1963).
- Structure: Body elongate, fusiform. Pygidium rounded with two pairs of lobes. Median lobes small, squat, broader than long with serrated apices, separated by a marginal notch, but with their bases yoked together. A pair of setae between the lobes but without gland spines or marginal pores. 2nd lobes duplex, the inner lobule much larger than the outer and longer than broad (Hall, 1946a).
