Biology:Anaspides

From HandWiki

Anaspides is a genus of freshwater crustaceans in the family Anaspidesidae.[1] The genus was first described in 1894 by George Malcolm Thomson.[1][2] The genus was originally placed in the family, Anaspididae by Thomson,[3][4] but this genus name was preoccupied by the insect genus, Anaspis Geoffroy, 1762,[3] and therefore, in 2017, the family was renamed Anaspidesidae by Shane Ahyong and Miguel A. Alonso-Zarazaga.[3][5]

The genus is endemic to Tasmania.[6]
