Ä€kÄsÄnañcÄyatanÅ«pagÄ-devi

A class of devas born in the Realm of Infinite Space (ÄkÄsÄnañcÄyatana) (M.iii.103).

They belong to the Arūpa world and their life term is twenty thousand world-cycles (A.i.267; AbhS., p.23).

Their mind arises and ceases moment by moment (Kvu.i.207-8).

In the description of the ArÅ«pÄvacarabhÅ«mi, these devas represent the lowest limit, the highest being the NevasaññÄnÄsaññÄ. Ps.i.84.
