Anaspidesidae is a family of freshwater crustacean that is endemic to Tasmania, Australia.[1] The family contains 3 living genera. This group of crustaceans are considered living fossils.[1] They are commonly and collectively known as the Tasmanian anaspid crustaceans.[2]

This family is originally called as Anaspididae. However, genus name Anaspis was preoccupied by the insect genus, Anaspis Geoffroy, 1762,[3] and therefore, in 2017, the family was renamed to Anaspidesidae by Shane Ahyong and Miguel A. Alonso-Zarazaga.[3][4]

Anaspiesids have stalked eyes, long antennae and antennules, and a slender body with no carapace. The two species of Allanaspides[5][6] and the single species of Paranaspides[7] are all listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
