Literature: Taiti & Ferrara (1989) revised a number
of species and referred to 27 species.

(ICZN Art. 13.3.
Type species: Not designated.
Species originally included:
1. Armadillo hirsutus C. L. Koch, 1856: southern Spain.
2. Armadillo ausseli Dollfus, 1893: Canary Islands, Tenerife,
La Laguna (2 � syntypes, leg. H. Aussel, 1887, MNHN-
Is5127); same data (2 � syntypes, MNHN-Is5128); same
data (2 � and a fragment, syntypes, MNHN-Is5131); same
data (1 � and a posterior half of a �, MNHN-Is5132);
Tenerife, Grande forêt des lauriers d’Agua Gar-cia, 800
m alt. (1 � syntype, leg. Alluaud, 2.vi.1889-90, MNHN-

leg. Aussel, i.1888, MNHN-Is5133); Canary Islands (8

Remarks: Vandel (1954) regarded the species Armadillo
hirsutus C. L. Koch, 1856 and Armadillo ausseli
Dollfus, 1893 as transitional forms between the genera
Armadillo and Venezillo. He instituted the subgenus
Atlandillo of the genus Armadillo for them, without
designating a type species. Taiti, Paoli & Ferrara (1998)
reduced Atlandillo to a synonym of Venezillo.

included the species described as Atlantidium in the
genus Porcellio.
