A new genus and two new species of Pudeoniscidae Lemos de Castro 1973 (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea) from Brazil

First record of Pudeoniscidae Lemos de Castro, 1973 (Oniscidea) from Peru, with the description of a new genus and species

“…The Pudeoniscidae were recently revised by Campos-Filho et al (2018b). The diagnostic characters of the family do not comprise the variation observed in Iansaoniscus and Loretoniscus gen. nov.…”

“…The diagnostic characters of the family do not comprise the variation observed in Iansaoniscus and Loretoniscus gen. nov. Thus, the diagnosis of the family after Campos-Filho et al (2018b) is emended as follows: animals with exoantennal conglobation; cephalon with triangular frontal shield and profons having complex depressions, and pereonite 1 epimera with dorsolateral furrow to fit antennae during conglobation (reduced or absent in cave-dwellers or endogean species); epimera of pereonites 1-3 with small ventral lobes or schisma on pereonite 1 (reduced or absent in cave-dwellers or endogean species); pleon outline continuous to that of pereonite 7, neopleurae 3-5 well developed and rectangular, telson triangular or trapezoidal with proximal portion wider than distal portion; antennal flagellum of three articles, second and third divided by suture; uropod protopod subquadrangular, exopod inserted distally, endopod not surpassing the distal margin of telson; and pleopod exopods with respiratory structures.…”

To date, Iansaoniscus comprises only cave-restricted species recorded in the Brazilian semi-arid biome (Caatinga), while the remaining genera are recorded in Atlantic Forest areas (Vandel 1963;Lemos de Castro 1973;Campos-Filho et al 2017, 2018bCardoso et al 2018Cardoso et al , 2022b.…”
