Taxonomy Light (1991: 136) with only brief explanation transferred Asychis theodori to Maldane. He stated that, along with two other species, it had the highly reduced pygidium, 2 pre-anal segments, and anal valve characteristic of Maldane (along with Chirimia). A more detailed analysis was given in his unpublished doctoral thesis of 1980. [details]
