Validity of the genus Anchiphiloscia Stebbing, 1908 (Crustacea Isopoda Oniscidea)

Specimens of Anchiphiloscia karongae Stebbing, 1908, A. cunningtoni Stebbing, 1908, Philoscia suarezi Dollfus, 1895 and Setaphora pilosa Budde-Lund, 1913 have been examined. Anchiphiloscia Stebbing. 1908 is considered to be a valid genus with Setaphora Budde-Lund, 1908 and Afrophiloscia Taiti & Ferrara, 1980 as junior synonyms. S. pilosa is transferred to Anchiphiloscia and A. cunningtoni to Aphiloscia Budde-Lund, 1908. The new genus Pseudosetaphora is erected for Setaphora ovata Budde-Lund, 1913 and S. pallidemaculata Budde-Lund, 1913.
