Abstract

A total of 25 species of terrestrial Isopoda are recorded from the Togian Is, Sulawesi. One genus (Dryadillo : Armadillidae) and six species (Adoniscus insularis, Littorophiloscia tominensis, Burmoniscus schultzi, B. togianensis, B. punctatus and Tuberillo celebensis) are described as new. A new species of Dryadillo (D. kemaensis) is described from specimens from Kema, Sulawesi. The genus Vavoscia Schultz is considered to be a junior synonym of Burmoniscus Collinge, Tylos bilobus Lewis from Queensland of T. opercularis Budde-Lund, Chaetophiloscia formosana Verhoeff and Rennelloscia mucronata Vandel of Burmoniscus javanensis (Richardson Searle), and Nagara lombocensis Herold of Nagurus modestus (Dollfus). Philoscia angusticauda Budde-Lund, from Borneo, and P. variegata Dollfus (of which P. cinctella Dollfus is a synonym), from Sulawesi, are transferred to Burmoniscus, Armadillo rectifrons Dollfus, from Sulawesi, to Dryadillo, gen. nov., and Hybodillo jubatus Herold, from Sumatra, to Tuberillo Schultz. Several poorly known species are illustrated.
