Introduction This contribution deals with the terrestrial isopods from southern China including Macao and Hong Kong. The area under consideration is hmited to the north by the river Chiangjiang (= Yangtze), to the west by Myanmar (= Burma), to the south by Laos, Vietnam and the South China Sea, and to the east by the East China Sea. Some records from Sichuan, north of the river Chiangjiang, are also included. The terrestrial isopods from this part of China, as well as from the rest of the country and from many other parts of Far East Asia, have received very little atten- tion. Most of the Information available is due to Arcangeli (1927, 1952) who recorded 26 species from the whole of China, of which 23 occurred in southern China, Macao and Hong Kong. Other contributions are given by Budde-Lund (1885) who reported Ligia exotica Roux, 1828 from Chusan and Macao, by Shen (1949) who described six new species from Yunnan, and by Chen (1987) who recorded Ligia exotica from all the coastal provinces of China, together with L. occi- dentalis Dana, 1853 from Yantai (Shandong). Recently Taiti & Ferrara (1986b, 1986c, 1989), Ma (1990), Dudgeon, Ma & Lam (1990), Ma, Dudgeon & Lam (1991) and Ma, Lam & Dudgeon (1991) recorded nine species from Hong Kong, i. e. Tylos sp., Ligia exotica, Olibrinus sp., Armadilloniscus litoralis Budde-Lund, 1885, Littorophiloscia aldahrana Ferrara & Taiti, 1985, Burmoniscus ocellatus (Ver- hoeff, 1928), Exalloniscus rotundatus Taiti & Ferrara, 1986, Orodillo maculatus Arcangeli, 1952, and Formosillo raffaelei (Arcangeli, 1927). The study material was coUected by Dr. P. Beron (Sofia) in southern China, and by Dr. H. H. T. Ma (Hong Kong), Prof. P. Brignoli (L'Aquila), Prof. G. Osella (L'Aquila), and Prof. V. Cottarelli (Roma) in Hong Kong. Most of the specimens coUected by Prof. F. Sil- vESTRi (Portici) and recorded by Arcangeli (1927, 1952) were also re-examined.

ZooKeys 176: 215–230. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.176.2367 Abstract Ecosystems comprising coastal lakes and ponds are important areas for preserving biodiversity. The natural reserve “Saline di Trapani e Paceco” is an interesting natural area in Sicily, formed by the remaining strips of land among salt pans near the coastline. From January 2008 to January 2010, pitfall trapping was conducted in five sampling sites inside the study area. The community of terrestrial isopods was assessed using the main diversity indices. Twenty-four species were collected, only one of them endemic to west- ern Sicily: Porcellio siculoccidentalis Viglianisi, Lombardo & Caruso, 1992. Two species are new to Sicily: Armadilloniscus candidus Budde-Lund, 1885 and Armadilloniscus ellipticus (Harger, 1878).

Suppl. 4: 1 -85 (2001) © Gesellschaft für Biologische Systematik http://www.senckenberg.uni-frankfurt.de/odes/01-04.htm Phylogeny and Biogeography of South American Crinocheta, traditionally placed in the family "Philosciidae" (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea) Andreas Leistikow1 Universität Bielefeld, Abteilung für Zoomorphologie und Systematik Received 15 February 2000 . Accepted 9 August 2000. Abstract South America is diverse in climatic and thus vegetational zonation, and even the uniformly looking tropical rain forests are a mosaic of different habitats depending on the soils, the regional climate and also the geological history. An important part of the nutrient webs of the rain forests is formed by the terrestrial Isopoda, or Oniscidea, the only truly terrestrial taxon within the Crustacea. They are important, because they participate in soil formation by breaking up leaf litter when foraging on the fungi and bacteria growing on them. After a century of research on this interesting taxon, a revision of the terrestrial isopod taxa from South America and some of the Antillean Islands, which are traditionally placed in the family Philosciidae, was performed in the last years to establish monophyletic genera. Within this study, the phylogenetic relationships of these genera are elucidated in the light of phylogenetic systematics. Several new taxa are recognized, which are partially neotropical, partially also found on other continents, particularly the old Gondwanian fragments. The monophyla are checked for their distributional patterns which are compared with those patterns from other taxa from South America and some correspondence was found. The distributional patterns are analysed with respect to the evolution of the Oniscidea and also with respect to the geological history of their habitats.

ABSTRACT The terrestrialenvironment, with a unique set of fouling parameters,has been invaded by certainamphipod, isopod, and decapod species. In an effort to characterizegrooming in these crustaceans,behavior of representativeorganisms was recorded,and grooming appendages were examinedwith light and scanningelectron microscopy. The mouthpartsand gnatho- pods, particularly the scale-bearingsecond pair, were the primary amphipod grooming appendages.Isopods most frequentlyused the mouthpartsand first pereiopodsfor grooming, but all pereiopodsperformed some acts. The mouthpartswere armed with both scalesand setae,whereas the first pereiopodsmade use of a seta-linedcarpal groove and the seto-ce proximal propodus.Hermit crabsused specialized setae on the third maxillipedesand fifth pereiopodsfor most groomingbut usedthe unmodifiedfirst, second,and third pereiopodsas well. Most brachyurangrooming was performedwith modified setaeon the third maxilli- pedalpalps and epipods,with a row of simple setaeon eachchelipede merus, and with the 'semiterres- chelipedefingers. The unspecializedwalking legsrubbed each other.

  • Checklist of the Terrestrial Isopods of the New World (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea)
    Checklist of the terrestrial isopods of the new world (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea) Andreas Leistikow 1,2 Johann Wolfgang Wagele 2 ABSTRACT. A check-list of all the American Oniscidea known to the authors and their quotation in literature is presented. The species account comprises notes on species' distribution and a revise d synonymy. As far as possible comments on taxonomic problems are given. The species are ascribed to the families which are commonly recognised, despite many of them are paraphyletic constructions. This check-list should support the work of both ecologists and ta xonomist when dealing with New World Oniscidea. KEY WORDS. Tsopoda, American Oniscidea, taxonomy, biodiversity, check-list The suborder Oniscidea is one of the most important within the Isopoda with almost half of all known species of Isopoda belonging to it. The members of Oniscidea play an important role in terrestrial ecosystems, especially in the tropics. They are destruents occurring in great numbers and so me we re able to adapt to man. Therefore, they became anthropophilous and are cosmopolitically di stributed like Porcellionides pruinosus (Brandt, 1833) and Cubaris //'Iurina Brandt, 1833. A first attempt to review the distributional patterns of Oniscidea had been made by VANDEL (1945), but until thi s time the knowledge on the distribution and diversity of terrestrial isopoda has increased considerably in the last decades. Unfortunately, there are no new monographic works on the suborder. At least, there are check- li sts on Oniscidea from Oceania (JACKSON 1941) and Ati'ica south of the Sahara (FERRARA & TAITI 1978). For the Americas, the last review on fresh water and terrestrial iso pods was undertaken by V AN NAME (\936, 1940, 1942).

    Historia naturalis bulgarica, 21: 169-210, 2015 Comparative study of the invertebrate cave faunas of Southeast Asia and New Guinea Petar Beron Abstract: An attempt is made to compare the available data on the cave fauna of SE Asia with the cave fauna of New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago. The information is very uneven, with many hundreds of caves and cave animals known from SE Asia and almost the only results on the cave fauna of New Guinea obtained during the British Expedition to PNG in 1975. The present analysis outlines the existence of more than 209 troglobites and 42 stygobites in the caves of SE Asia and 18 troglobites and 10 stygobites in the caves of New Guinea and New Ireland. Many of these species are to some extent “troglomorphes”, but their belonging to the caterories of troglobites or stygobites is disputable, as nothing is known in details concerning their biology. The richest groups in troglobites are Isopoda Oniscidea (13 sp. in SE Asia, 1 in New Guinea), Araneae (46 sp. in SE Asia, unfinished study of PNG collection), Pseudoscorpiones (11 sp. in SE Asia, 1 in New Guinea), Diplopoda (30 sp. in SE Asia, 1 in New Guinea), Collembola (28 sp. in SE Asia, 4 in New Guinea), Coleoptera Carabidae (56 sp. in SE Asia, 3 in New Guinea and New Ireland). Particularly interesting is the discovery of a rich cave fauna in the highlands of New Guinea (above 2200 m), wherе the air temperature in the caves is ca. 13 0C, comparable to the temperature in the South European caves.

Abstract An atlas for 86 terrestrial isopod species (33 genera, 16 families) reported from Mexico is presented based on records in the literature. Publications with diagnostic illustrations are cited and Mexican type localities given. State checklists are generated based on citations for the first records in the literature. A map for each species presents a visual summary of its recorded distribution in the country. Introduction Several comprehensive works have been produced which summarized information about North American terrestrial isopods. Richardson (1905) covered marine, terrestrial, and freshwater species in her still useful Monograph on the lsopods of North America.
