| Arubolana imula (Botosaneanu & Stock, 1979) [2] | |
Arubolana imula is a species of crustacean in the family Cirolanidae, endemic to Aruba. [1] It was described in 1979 by Lazare Botosaneanu and Jan Hendrik Stock. [3]
"Male and female 6.25 mm. Body 2.3 times longer than wide. Eyes absent. Antenna reaching posteriorly to pereonite(segment) 4 or 5. Rostrum distinct, anteriorly truncate, separating antennal bases, fused with rectangular frontal lamina ventrally. Pleotelson basally slightly wider than long, posterior margin broadly rounded to subtruncate, with irregular crenulations or faint teeth. Uropodal exopod apically acute, reaching to about midlength of endopod; latter distally broad; with slight tooth at distolateral angle."
Isopoda is an order of crustaceans that includes woodlice and their relatives. Isopods live in the sea, in fresh water, or on land. All have rigid, segmented exoskeletons, two pairs of antennae, seven pairs of jointed limbs on the thorax, and five pairs of branching appendages on the abdomen that are used in respiration. Females brood their young in a pouch under their thorax.

Speocirolana thermydronis is a species of crustacean in the family Cirolanidae. It is endemic to Mexico and only known from springs near Cuatro Ciénegas, Coahuila. Its habitat is threatened by irrigation.
Speocirolana is a genus of crustacean in family Cirolanidae. They occur in Mexico from San Luis Potosi northwards and in southern Texas. They are stygobionts. They measure 17–33 mm (0.67–1.30 in) in total length.
Sphaerolana is a genus of isopod crustaceans in the family Cirolanidae, all of which are endemic to Mexico.
Thermosphaeroma is a genus of crustacean in family Sphaeromatidae. They occur exclusively in hot springs of southwestern United States and central Mexico.
Ligidium japonicum is a species of woodlouse found in moist forests in Japan. Individuals may live for up to two years and reach a length of 8 millimetres (0.31 in).
Iais is a genus of isopod crustaceans. Iais species are found in association with larger isopods of the family Sphaeromatidae, usually on the ventral surface of the larger animal, between the pereiopods and on the pleopods. They are native to Australasia and South America, although Iais californica and its host Sphaeroma quoyanum have invaded California, and I. californica was first described from Sausalito, California. Nine species are recognised:
