Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea Latreille, 1802: New continent record and distribution extension in Brazil

Terrestrial Isopods were sampled in four protected Atlantic Forest areas located in Serra do Mar, state of S oPaulo, southeastern Brazil. A total of 2,217 individuals of six species (Atlantoscia sp., Benthana werneri, Pseudodiploexochustabularis, Pudeoniscus obscurus, Styloniscus spinosus and Trichorhina sp.) were captured in pitfall traps. The exotic speciesS. spinosus is recorded for the first time for the Americas. Another introduced species, P. tabularis, previously recorded onlyfrom the state of Rio Grande do Sul, had its geographic distribution extended to the state of S o Paulo. The most abundantisopods in this study belong to an undescribed species of Atlantoscia.
