Abstract
A large collection of terrestrial isopods from different Brazilian regions were examined. Two new species in the genus Amazoniscus (Scleropactidae) are described: A. paulae from the state of Para and A. schmidti from Minas Gerais. Pseudotyphloscia alba (Philosciidae) is firstly recorded from Brazil. The systematic position of Prosekia lejeunei and Venezillo tuberosus are discussed, and the latter transferred to the genus Ctenorillo . Diploexochus echinatus from the state of Para, is redescribed.
期刊介绍:
The journal Iheringia, Série Zoologia, edited by the “Museu de Ciências Naturais” of the “Fundação Zoobotânica do Rio Grande do Sul”, publishes original research findings in zoology with emphasis on taxonomy, systematics, morphology, natural history, and community or population ecology of species from current Neotropical fauna. Scientific notes will not be accepted for publication. Species lists without a taxonomic approach, or that are not the result of studies on the ecology or natural history of communities will not normally be accepted. The same applies to identification keys of groups of taxa defined by political boundaries. Authors wishing to inquire about the scope of the journal or the suitability of a particular topic are encouraged to contact the Editorial Board prior to submission. Furthermore, articles with a main focus on agronomy, veterinary, zootechny or other areas involving applied zoology will not be accepted.
Its abbreviated title is Iheringia, Sér. Zool., which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips.
