Pentidotea resecata, the eelgrass isopod, is a species of isopod in the family Idoteidae. It is found in North America. [1] [2] [3]
Tantulocarida is a highly specialised group of parasitic crustaceans that consists of about 33 species, treated as a subclass of the class Hexanauplia. They are typically ectoparasites that infest copepods, isopods, tanaids, amphipods and ostracods.
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.
Armadillidium vulgare, the common pill-bug, potato bug, common pill woodlouse, roly-poly, slater, doodle bug, or carpenter, is a widespread European species of woodlouse. It is the most extensively investigated terrestrial isopod species.
A woodlouse is an isopod crustacean from the polyphyletic suborder Oniscidea within the order Isopoda. They get their name from often being found in old wood.
Remasellus parvus, the swimming Florida cave isopod, is an isopod endemic to "4 caves in the Ochlockonee and Aucilla-Suwanee drainages of Florida", United States. It is the only species in the genus Remasellus.
Excirolana chiltoni is a species of isopod in the family Cirolanidae.
Alloniscus perconvexus is a species of woodlouse in the family Alloniscidae. It is found in North America.
Brackenridgia is a genus of woodlice in the family Trichoniscidae. There are about nine described species in Brackenridgia.
Sphaeroma papillae is a species of isopod in the family Sphaeromatidae known from and potentially endemic to southern New England. It was described from Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island in 1938 and has since then been found in other locations on the north shores of Long Island and Cape Cod. It can be told from the similar Sphaeroma quadridentatum by the presence of two tubercles on the telson and the unserrated outer margin of the outer uropod branch. This species tends to be found in places of the intertidal zone where there is a direct influence with fresh water, such as seeps and pond outlets.
Elthusa californica is a species of isopod in the family Cymothoidae of the order Isopoda. E.californica is a saltwater parasitic isopod. Like many species of the Elthusa genus, E. californica was first placed in within the Liveneca genus, but later underwent taxonomic revisions.
Elthusa is a genus of isopods in the family Cymothoidae, with more than 30 described species.
Cubaris is a genus of woodlice in the family Armadillidae. There are more than 100 described species in Cubaris.
Pentidotea is a genus of isopods in the family Idoteidae. There are about 13 described species in Pentidotea.
Jaera albifrons is a species of isopod in the family Janiridae. It is found in Europe and North America.
Jaera is a genus of isopods in the family Janiridae. There are more than 20 described species in Jaera.
Idotea metallica, also known as the metallic isopod, is a species of isopod in the family Idoteidae. It can be recognised by its metallic blue colouration and by the blunt, squared-off shape of the telson. It is found worldwide drifting on debris on high seas. It often gets blown inshore, where it is outcompeted by related species such as Idotea balthica.
Idotea phosphorea is a species of isopod in the family Idoteidae. It is found in North America.
Pentidotea aculeata is a species of isopod in the family Idoteidae.
Haplophthalmus danicus, the terrestrial cave isopod, is a species of woodlouse in the family Trichoniscidae. It is found in Europe and Northern Asia, North America, Southern Asia, South America, and temperate Asia.
Sphaeroma quadridentatum, the sea pill bug, is a species of isopod in the family Sphaeromatidae.
