Examination of the Isopoda collection of the Museum de la Universidad de Costa Rica revealed new information on the Oniscidea of Central America. Besides representatives of the genus Venrzillo Verhoeff, 1933 (Armadillidae). the "philosciid" genus Ischioscia Verhoeff, 1928 is the most important taxon in Costa Rica. The presence of seven species of Ischioscirr Verhoeff, 1928 in the fauna of Costa Rica is somewhat surprising, since in other parts of the Neotropics fewer spccics are known to coexist. Previously, in Costa Rica three species were found: Ischioscia martinae Leistikow, 1997, 1. rniielleri Leistikow. I YY7 and 1. elongata Leistikow, 1997, and new records are presented for these species. In addition, four specics new to science arc described and figured in detail: I. cadoangelis sp. n., I. plurimaculata sp. n., I. quadri.Ypinis sp. n. and I. marniorafa sp. n.A key to the Costa Rican species is given and the phylogenetic relationships of the genus and the Costa Rican species is discussed.

The phylogenetic relations between the families of Crinocheta (Isopoda, Oniscidea) are analysed. For each family, a description of a representative species, a reconstruction of the groundpattern (if possible), an estimation of species number and the geographic distribution are given. The morphological data were interpreted according to the method of Phylogenetic Systematics. The "Scyphacidae", "Philosciidae", "Dubioniscidae", "Platyarthridae", 'Trachelipodidae", and "Porcellionidae" proved to be paraphyla. The "Scyphacidae" were split into the monophyla Detonidae, Scyphacidae s.str. and Alloniscidae, the latter belonging in the Oniscoidea. In the cladogram, the following taxa branch off successively: Olibrinidae, Detonidae, Scyphacidae s.str., Alloniscidae, then follows an unresolved trifurcation between Taxon 3 (including "Philosciidae", Halophilosciidae, Scleropactidae), Stenoniscidae and Taxon 4 (all others). The Taxon 4 splits into Rhyscotidae and Taxon 6, the latter consists of Squamiferaee and Taxon 7. Within the latter, the resolution is low; a sistergroup relation between Armadillidae and Eubelidae can be assumed, a close affinity of Bathytropidae and Tendosphaeridae seems possible, the 'Trachelipodidae" were split into the monophyletic Agnaridae, and the probably still paraphyletic "Trachelipodidae" s.str.. The "Porcellionidae" are paraphyletic with respect to the Armadillidiidae. Some data on the biogeography of several taxa are discussed in the context of their phylogenetic relations.
