Terrestrial Isopoda (Crustacea) from southern China, Macao and Hong Kong

Forty-nine species of terrestrial isopods are recorded from southern China, Macao and Hong Kong. One new genus (Sinodillo) and 16 new species are described, viz. Papuaphiloscia granulata, P. arcangelii, Burmoniscus purpura, B. yunnanensis, B. flavivertex, B. lobatus, Exalloniscus silvestrii, Lucasioides pedimaculatus. (?) L. cavernicolus, Mongoloniscus nigrogranulatus, Troglodillo rotundatus, Sinodillo troglophilus, S. ferrarai, S. Schmalfussi, Spherillo orientalis, and Parakermania maculata. The following poorly known species are discussed and illustrated: Tylos minor, Ligidium denticulatum, Nagurus sundaicus, N. pallidipennis, (?) N. verhoeffi, Lucasioides isseli, L. zavattarii, Dryadillo maculatus, and Spherillo raffaelei. Nagurus travancoriensis (Verhoeff) is considered to be a junior synonym of N. pallidipennis (Dollfus) and Porcellio breviramus Shen of Porcellionides pruinosus (Brandt). The composition of the oniscidean fauna from southern China is briefly discussed.
