Trichorhina acuta is a species of woodlouse, originally described by Araujo and Buckup in 1994. Distributed throughout Brazil, [1] it can be found living synantropically, under dead plant matter or stones. [2]
Isopoda is an order of crustaceans. Members of this group are called Isopods and include both terrestrial and aquatic species such as woodlice. 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.
Trichorhina mulaiki is a species of woodlouse in the family Platyarthridae.
A woodlouse is any crustacean belonging to the suborder Oniscidea within the order Isopoda. They get their name from often being found in old wood, and from louse, a parasitic insect, although woodlice are neither parasitic nor insects.
Trichoniscus pusillus, sometimes called the common pygmy woodlouse, is one of the five most common species of woodlice in the British Isles. It is acknowledged to be the most abundant terrestrial isopod in Britain. It is found commonly across Europe north of the Alps, and has been introduced to Madeira, the Azores and North America.
Hyloniscus riparius is a species of woodlouse found in Central and Eastern Europe and subsequently introduced to North America. It is strongly associated with flood plains and can tolerate periods of up to eight weeks submerged under water. In North America, it was first found at St. John's, Newfoundland in 1951, and later in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
Androniscus dentiger, the rosy woodlouse or pink woodlouse is a species of woodlouse found from the British Isles to North Africa.
Agnaridae is a family of woodlice. They were formerly considered part of the Trachelipodidae, but were moved from that family to Porcellionidae in 1989, and then placed as a separate family in 2003.
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.
Rhyscotidae is a family of woodlice, terrestrial crustaceans of the order Isopoda.
Pudeoniscidae is a family of malacostracans in the order Isopoda.
Hawaiioscia is a genus of woodlouse known from the Hawaii, Rapa Nui, and Costa Rica. The genus was originally described from Hawaii on the presence of four troglobitic species on separate islands. A species within this genus was then described from Rapa Nui which lacked troglobtic traits, but only persists in cave-dwelling relict populations. Surprisingly, another species was then described from along the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica.
Armadillidium sfenthourakisi is a European species of woodlouse endemic to Greece.
Porcellio hoffmannseggii, commonly called the titan isopod, is a species of woodlouse of the genus Porcellio described in 1833. This very large species is native to the southern Iberian Peninsula, Morocco and the Balearic Islands.
Trichorhina is a genus of woodlice in the family Platyarthridae.
Trichorhina aethiopica is a species of woodlouse, originally described by A. Arcangeli in 1941. It is reported to be distributed on the banks of Caschei River in Ethiopia.
Trichorhina amazonica is a species of woodlouse, distributed throughout North-Eastern Brazil.
Trichorhina anophthalma is a species of woodlouse distributed throughout southern Spain and Portugal.
Trichorhina argentina is a species of woodlouse found in southern Brazil and central eastern Argentina. It can be found living synantropically under stones or leaves.
Trichorhina atlasi is a species of woodlouse found in Central Morocco, throughout the Middle Atlas mountains.
Trichorhina atoyacensis is a species of woodlouse found in the state of Veracruz in southern Mexico. It is named after Atoyac Cave, in which it was found.
