Anajapygidae
Family of two-pronged bristletails
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
