Trichorhina atlasi is a species of woodlouse found in Central Morocco, throughout the Middle Atlas mountains. [1]
Trichorhina atlasi has a pale pigmentation, similar to that of Trichoniscus pusillus . It has darkly pigmented eyes with eight ommatida. Its cuticle is covered in imbricate scales with the entire body being covered in fan-like shapes. It has a semi-circular telson. The antennae are relatively long.
Due to its coloration and relatively high number of ommatids, it is theorized to be a more primitive species of the Trichorhina genus, similar to Trichorhina amazonica . [2]
