The Anajapygidae are a small family of diplurans. They can be distinguished by their relatively short, stout cerci, which discharge abdominal secretions.[1] Unlike most diplurans, which are largely predatory, these are scavengers.

Species

The family Anajapygidae contains two genera, with eight recognized species:[2]

  • Anajapyx Silvestri, 1903
  • Paranajapyx Pagés, 1997
    • Paranajapyx hermosus (L.Smith, 1960)
  • Eoanajapyx Wang, Y., Sánchez-García, A., Sendra, A. et al. 2026[3]
