Merulanella is a genus of isopods within the family Armadillidae.
First described in 1895, currently, there are at least seven described species of Merulanella: [1]
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.
Oniscoidea is a superfamily of isopod crustaceans, which includes most of the land-living woodlice. It includes the "common woodlouse", Oniscus asellus, in the namesake family Oniscidae.
Haplophthalmus is a genus of woodlice in family Trichoniscidae. It contains 47 described species, of which two are listed as vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List – Haplophthalmus abbreviatus and Haplophthalmus rhinoceros.
Porcellio is a genus of woodlice in the family Porcellionidae. These crustaceans are found essentially worldwide. A well-known species is the common rough woodlouse, Porcellio scaber.
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 :
Hemilepistus is a genus of woodlice, created by G. H. A. Budde-Lund in 1879 as a subgenus of Porcellio, but raised to the rank of genus by Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff in 1930. It contains the following species:
Platyarthridae is a family of woodlice, containing the following genera:
Porcellio montanus is a species of woodlouse in the genus Porcellio belonging to the family Porcellionidae that can be found in Czech Republic, France, Italy and Switzerland. Only one subspecies have been recorded, Porcellio montanus alpivagusVerhoeff, 1928.
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. Most of the armadillidae taxa are not monophyletic. 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. Some species, however, have secondarily lost their conglobation ability. For example, a species exist in which the males lack the inner face of the coxal plates and are therefore unable to conglobate. Armadillids differ from the Armadillidiidae in that the antennae are fully enclosed within the sphere.
Scleropactidae is a family of woodlice, with a predominantly Gondwanan distribution. It contains the following genera:
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.
Alloniscus is the sole genus in the woodlice family Alloniscidae. There are more than 20 described species in Alloniscus.
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.
Philoscia is a genus of woodlice in the family Philosciidae. There are more than 80 described species in Philoscia.
Eubelidae is a family of isopods belonging to the order Isopoda. It contains the following genera:
