Anaspides eberhardi is a species of freshwater, cave-dwelling crustacean in the family Anaspidesidae. It was first described in 2016 by Shane Ahyong.[1] The species name is an eponym, honouring Stefan Eberhard rather than describing a morphological feature.[1]
Like all members of the genus Anaspides, A. eberhardi is endemic to Tasmania. It has been recorded from caves in the Junee-Florentine karst system.[2]
A. eberhardi can be distinguished from other members of the genus by its distinctly more elongated and posteriorly tapering telson.[1]
