Armadillidium album Dollfus, 1887
SYN. – Haloarmadillidium dudichi, Italoarmadillidium dudichi
BIBL. – DOLLFUS 1887a; ARCANGELI 1929c (figs.), 1950c; EDNEY 1953a; HOLTHUIS 1956 (figs.);
VANDEL 1960b, 1962b (figs.), 1968a; SCHMÖLZER 1965b; AMANIEU 1969; TAITI & FERRARA

1988; TAITI & FERRARA 1989c, 1996; ARGANO & MANICASTRI 1991; SCHMALFUSS 1999, 2000b;

Armadillidium ameglioi Arcangeli, 1914
SYN. – A. ephesiacum, samium
BIBL. – ARCANGELI 1914a (figs.), 1934a; STROUHAL 1927 (figs.), 1929a, 1929c (figs.), 1937d,
1937g; SCHMÖLZER 1965b; SCHMALFUSS 1972b (figs.), 1999, 2000b (map); SFENTHOURAKIS
1996b.
DISTR. – SW-Turkey including the Greek island Kastelórizo; Greece: Aegean islands Sámos,
Ikaría, Náxos, Amorgós, Alatsonísi, Khálki, Ródos.
REMARKS. – A. samium Strouhal, 1929 and A. ephesiacum Strouhal, 1927 are considered as
synonyms of A. ameglioi, because the investigation of more material from the Aegean
islands and Asia Minor has shown that differences are gradual and concern only the shape
of the telson (see figs. 89–92 in SFENTHOURAKIS 1994, unpublished Ph. D. thesis, University
of Athens). A. naxium Verhoeff, 1901 from Náxos Island is very probably identical with
A. ameglioi, but the description is insufficient and the types are lost, so A. naxium remains
a nomen dubium.
