Figs. 24-25
The holotype is in BMNH but is in poor condition, with the antennae missing. Boerner (1901, p.334), when he described this species included figures of the SO Ant III and PAO, and additional figures of the foot and anal spines are given here. From the drawings of the sense organs made by Boerner it is clear that this species does not belong to Onychiurus (Aphorura) and should be transferred to the genus Spelaphorura Bagnall, 1948.
