Remarks

• Systematics: Aulacaspis yahunikkei and A. neolitseae have the prosoma moderately swollen and the prepygidial region of the postsoma roughly parallel on the lateral sides. A. sirodamo at full growth is relatively stout with the prosoma and postsoma more broadened and the metathorax and first two abcominal segments more strongly lobed laterally than in the other two species. This species has the median trullae larger than in A. yehunikkei and A neolitseae and gradually attenuating apically; the basal zygotic sclerite of the median trullae is well develooped, and produced anteriorly beyond the basis of the trullae; the marginal macroducts occurring on the seventh abdominal segment and situated on the sides of the median trullae do not extend anteriorly beyond the bases of the truulae. (Takagi, 2014)
• Structure: Prosoma well swollen, attaining about 0.6 times as borad as body length, and metathorax and abd I and II well lobed laterally; prosomatic tubercles low and broad, or slightly prodeced, or not discernible; dorsal derm tending to gbe broadly sclerotized on meso- and metathorax. Medidan trullae rather robust, divergent, each gradullly attenuating towards apex and distinctly serate on mesal margin; basal zygotic sclerite well developed, produced and narrowing anteriorly beyond bases of trullae; marginal macroducts of abd VII not exteding anteriorly beyond bases of median trullae.
