World catalog of terrestrial isopods

BIBL. – FRANKENBERGER 1941b (figs.); VANDEL 1948f; SCHMÖLZER 1965b.
DISTR. – Bulgaria.
Armadillidium caelatum Miers, 1877 = Eluma c.
Armadillidium calabricum Verhoeff, 1908
SYN. – A. nasatum calabricum
BIBL. – VERHOEFF 1908c, 1931b; STROUHAL 1928b, 1937e; ARCANGELI 1960c; SCHMÖLZER 1965b.
DISTR. – Southern Italy: Calabria.
Armadillidium canaliferum Verhoeff, 1908
SYN. – A. carniolense c.
BIBL. – VERHOEFF 1908c; ARCANGELI 1954c; SCHMÖLZER 1965b; ARGANO et alii 1995.
DISTR. – Italy: peninsula of Sorrento.
Armadillidium capreae Verhoeff, 1944
BIBL. – VERHOEFF 1944 (figs.); SCHMÖLZER 1965b.
DISTR. – Southwestern Italy: island Capri.
REMARKS. – Probably conspecific with A. sorrentinum.
Armadillidium carniolense Verhoeff, 1901
SYN. – A. maculatum c., schoeblii, simoni c.
BIBL. – VERHOEFF 1901c, 1902, 1907a, 1928f (figs.), 1939d; RADU, V. G. 1945 (figs.), 1950a;
STROUHAL 1951, 1954a (figs.); ARCANGELI 1954c (only subspecies carniolense); STROUHAL &
FRANZ 1954; KARAMAN 1966a (figs.), 1966b; SCHMÖLZER 1965b, 1974b; TOMESCU et alii
1992, 1995, 2000, 2002b; ARGANO et alii 1995.
DISTR. – NE-Italy; SE-Austria; Slovenia; Croatia; Hungary; W-Romania.
REMARKS. – Probably a synonym of A. opacum. The taxa alassiense, anconanum,
apenninigerum, brentanum, canaliferum, clavigerum, ficalbii, frontexcavatum,
marinensium, nigrum, ormeanum, rupium, savonense, schoebli, vallombrosae, vandeli are
all treated by ARCANGELI 1954c and 1956a as subspecies of A. carniolense. Even if some of
them might be conspecific with carniolense the majority are certainly separate species, so
these synonymizations are here ignored, with the exception of schoeblii, which is very
probably only a variation of the typical carniolense.
Armadillidium carniolense vandeli Arcangeli, 1954 = A. dollfusi (compare TAITI & FERRARA 1995)
Armadillidium carynthiacum Verhoeff, 1939
BIBL. – VERHOEFF 1939f (figs.); STROUHAL 1948c, 1951; SCHMÖLZER 1965b, 1974b.
DISTR. – SE-Austria.
REMARKS. – Very probably a synonym of A. carniolense viz. opacum.
Armadillidium cavannai Arcangeli, 1960
SYN. – A. simoni c.
BIBL. – ARCANGELI 1960c (figs.); SCHMÖLZER 1965b; ARGANO et alii 1995.
DISTR. – Southern Italy: Calabria.
Armadillidium cavernarum Vandel, 1958 = Platanosphaera c. (compare SCHMALFUSS et alii 2004)
Armadillidium cephalonicum Strouhal, 1929
BIBL. – STROUHAL 1929a (figs.), 1936b (figs.); ?ARCANGELI 1952a; SCHMÖLZER 1965b;
SCHMALFUSS 1999, 2000b.
DISTR. – Greece: Ionian islands Kefaloniá and Zákinthos.
REMARKS. – ARCANGELI (1952a) has synonymized A. obenbergeri Frankenberger, 1941 with
A. cephalonicum and reported this species from Albania. There is, however, the suspicion
that A. obenbergeri is a separate species and that the specimens from Albania belong to
the latter.
Armadillidium cetinjense Strouhal, 1927
BIBL. – STROUHAL 1927 (figs.), 1928b, 1939e; VANDEL 1948f; SCHMÖLZER 1965b; KARAMAN
1966b.
DISTR. – Yugoslavia: Montenegro.
Armadillidium chazaliei Dollfus, 1896
BIBL. – DOLLFUS 1896b; ARCANGELI 1924a.
DISTR. – Western Sahara (former Rio de Oro): Cap Blanc.
REMARKS. – This may be an introduced European species. The record of this species in
Libya (ARCANGELI 1924a) seems to be a misidentification, since ARCANGELI mistook the
type locality with a place in Tunisia.
Armadillidium cinereum (Zenker, 1798) = nomen dubium (frequently used name for A. vulgare)
Armadillidium clausi Verhoeff, 1901
BIBL. – VERHOEFF 1901d.
DISTR. – Greece: Peloponnese (Navplio).
REMARKS. – This species could be synonymous with A. argolicum Verhoeff, 1907, but
certainly not with A. granulatum, as suggested by STROUHAL 1929a.
Armadillidium clavigerum Verhoeff, 1928
SYN. – A. carniolense c.
BIBL. – VERHOEFF 1928c, 1931b; SCHMÖLZER 1952a, 1965b; ARCANGELI 1954c; MANICASTRI &
TAITI 1994; ARGANO et alii 1995.
DISTR. – Central eastern Italy.
