Description
Summary:Five new species of terrestrial isopods from Liguria and surrounding regions are described: Buddelundiella zoiai sp. n. (Buddelundiellidae), Sardoniscus marmoratus sp. n. (Oniscidae), Cylisticus poggii sp. n. (Cylisticidae), Porcellio incavatus sp. n. (Porcellionidae), and Alloschizidium segestanum sp. n. (Armadillidiidae). Buddelundiella zoiai, Cylisticus poggii and Alloschizidium segestanum were collected in edaphic environments, while Sardoniscus marmoratus and Porcellio incavatus were found in leaf litter or under not deeply embedded rocks. The diagnostic characters, the affinities and the distribution of the new species are discussed.
