Alloniscus is the sole genus in the woodlice family Alloniscidae. There are more than 20 described species in Alloniscus. [1] [2] [3]
These 23 species belong to the genus Alloniscus:
Armadillidium is a genus of the small terrestrial crustacean known as the woodlouse. Armadillidium are also commonly known as pill woodlice, leg pebbles, pill bugs, roly-poly, or potato bugs, and are often confused with pill millipedes such as Glomeris marginata. They are characterised by their ability to roll into a ball ("volvation") when disturbed.
Porcellionidae is a terrestrial family of the order Isopoda.
Soteriscus is a genus of woodlice in the family Porcellionidae found in Macaronesian islands and adjacent parts of Europe and Africa. It contains the following species:
Philosciidae are a family of woodlice. They occur almost everywhere on earth, with most species found in (sub)tropical America, Africa and Oceania, and only a few in the Holarctic.
Porcellionides is a genus of woodlice in the family Porcellionidae. It includes the following species :
Ligidium is a genus of woodlice. It contains approximately 46 species, six of which are probably taxonomic synonyms of Ligidium hypnorum or Ligidium germanicum. Of the remainder, eight species are found in North America, six in Japan, two in Taiwan, four in China, twelve in Turkey, the Caucasus and Central Asia, and six in Greece.
Trachelipus is a genus of woodlice in the family Trachelipodidae, containing the following species:
Armadillidae is a family of woodlice, comprising around 80 genera and 700 species. It is the largest family of Oniscidea, and one of the most species-rich families of the entire Isopoda. Armadillids generally have a strongly convex body shape, with some rather shallowly convex. Like members of the woodlice family Armadillidiidae, armadillids are capable of enrolling into a sphere (conglobation), and are commonly known as pill bugs. Armadillids differ from the Armadillidiidae in that the antennae are fully enclosed within the sphere.
Armadillidium nasatum is a large, Britain-based species of woodlouse that has been introduced to North America, along with Armadillidium vulgare also found in other parts of Europe.
Scleropactidae is a family of woodlice, with a predominantly Gondwanan distribution. It contains the following genera:
Niambia is a genus of woodlice in the family Platyarthridae. There are at least 20 described species in Niambia.
Rhyscotus is a genus of armadillo woodlice, land crustacean isopods of the family Rhyscotidae. It was first described in 1885 by Gustav Budde-Lund.
Tylos is a genus of woodlice in the family Tylidae. There are at least 20 described species in Tylos. All the species in this family can roll up into a perfect ball and live on sandy beaches.
Armadilloniscus is a genus of woodlice in the family Detonidae. There are more than 30 described species in Armadilloniscus.
Platyarthrus is a genus of woodlice in the family Platyarthridae. There are more than 30 described species in Platyarthrus.
Cylisticus is a genus of woodlice in the family Cylisticidae. There are at least 70 described species in Cylisticus.
Haplophthalmus danicus, the terrestrial cave isopod, is a species of woodlouse in the family Trichoniscidae. It is found in Europe & Northern Asia, North America, Southern Asia, South America, and temperate Asia.
Philoscia is a genus of woodlice in the family Philosciidae. There are more than 80 described species in Philoscia.
