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]
- Genus Anajapyx Silvestri, 1903
- Anajapyx amabilis Smith, 1960
- Anajapyx carli Pagés, 1997
- Anajapyx guineensis Silvestri, 1938
- Anajapyx menkei Smith, 1960
- Anajapyx mexicanus Silvestri, 1909
- Anajapyx stangei Smith, 1960
- Anajapyx vesiculosus Silvestri, 1903
- Genus Paranajapyx Pagés, 1997
- Paranajapyx hermosus (L.Smith, 1960)
