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.
The family Anajapygidae contains two genera, with eight recognized species: [2]
Japyx is a genus of diplurans belonging to the family Japygidae. These eyeless, predatory hexapods largely shun direct sunlight, remaining under stones and among detritus, where they use pincer-like cerci to catch their tiny prey.
