The smallest British species is Armadillidium 

 pulchellum. The frontal lobe projects so as to 

 make the head somewhat triangular. The 

 antennae are very short and the distal joint of 

 the flagellum is three times the length of the 

 other, while the two together are not as long as 

 the last peduncular joint. 



The telson is truncated at the end so that

The colour of the body (which is smooth) is 

 dark brown with four important series of light patches running 

 down the back and less marked variegations between them.
