Catalogue of genera of the terrestrial Isopoda

14
Distribution: Bulgaria.
Remarks: Described as subgenus of Trichoniscus.
Vandel (1950) referred to it as a genus.
Ballodillium Vandel, 1961
Family: Armadillidiidae.
Type species: Ballodillium pilosum Vandel, 1961
(m).
Locality: Menorca: San Cristobal: Cueva de San
Augusti (1 �, leg. Coiffait & Strinati, 07.ix.
1958).
Balloniscus Budde-Lund, 1908b
Family: Balloniscidae.
Type species: Philoscia sellowii Brandt, 1833
(designated by Araujo & Leistikow 1999).
Locality: Brazil (1 � holotype, leg. Sellow, ZMB,
Brandt Collection).
Synonym: Pardioniscus Arcangeli, 1958b.
Species: 7.
Distribution: Southeast Brazil, northeast Argentina,
Uruguay.
Remarks: Budde-Lund (1908) included the species
Philoscia sellowii Brandt, 1833, P.
brevicornis Budde-Lund, 1885, P. nigricans
Budde-Lund, 1885, and P. maculata Budde-
Lund, 1885 in the subgenus Balloniscus (genus
Philoscia), but did not designate a type
species. Araujo & Leistikow (1999) mentioned
Philoscia sellowii as type species, which is
regarded as designation of the type species
according to ICZN Art. 69.1.1. They erroneously
indicated 1885 as publication date of
Balloniscus. Furthermore, they included the
genus in the family Philosciidae, while
Leistikow (2001h) placed it again in the family
Balloniscidae. In the original description of
Philoscia sellowii the locality is indicated as
“Montevideo”; in the Brandt collection in
ZMB there is only a single specimen labeled
“Brasilia” [Brazil]. Taking into consideration
the low accuracy of other locality data in
Brandt (1833), this specimen is nevertheless
regarded as the holotype.

Type species: Banatoniscus karbani Tabacaru,
1991 (o, m).
