Checklist of the terrestrial isopods of the new world (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea)

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 revised 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 taxonomist when dealing with New World Oniscidea.

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 revised 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 taxonomist when dealing with New World Oniscidea.

Key words: Isopoda, American Oniscidea, taxonomy, biodiversity, check-list

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. The authors would like to express their thanks to Dr. H. Schmalfuss, Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde, Stuttgart, Germany, for the comments on several incertain taxonomic groups. We are indebted to P.B. de Araújo, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Brazil, and Dr. F. Ferrara, Università di Firenze, Italy for the provision with some literature of difficult access.
