The analterous spectrum (or analterous umbrella) is a group of alterous orientations that fall under the umbrella term of analterous. Individuals on this spectrum may completely lack alterous attraction or feel it so little that they relate more to the analterous experience. The common link between those on the analterous spectrum is that they do not feel the "standard" amount of alterous attraction or they don't feel it in the "standard" way.
Those on the analterous spectrum, as well as the spectrum itself, are often referred to as "analt-spec" for short.
