Anaspides is a genus of freshwater crustaceans in the family Anaspidesidae.
[2] The genus was first described in 1894 by George Malcolm Thomson.
[2][3] The genus was originally placed in the family, Anaspididae by Thomson,[4][5] but this genus name was preoccupied by the insect genus, Anaspis Geoffroy, 1762,[4] and therefore, in 2017, the family was renamed Anaspidesidae by Shane Ahyong and Miguel A.
[4][6] The genus is endemic to Tasmania.
