Description
Porcellio wadianae sp. nov. (Crustacea: Oniscidea: Porcellionidae) is described from the Extremadura region,
Spain, Iberian Peninsula. The new species can be classified within the so-called “eng Atlantic group”, deffined
by Vandel. It is characterized by having an integumentary glandular system uncommon within this genus
and by other characteristics that differentiate it from the other species of the same group present in the Ibero-
Macaronesian and Northern African region. In addition, we report additional observations on woodlice species
collected in Extremadura, one of Spain’s most poorly known regions concerning terrestrial Isopod fauna
