The smallest British species is Avmadillidium 
puichellum. The frontal lobe projects so as to 
make the head somewhat triangular. The 
antenne are very short and the distal joint of 
the flagellum is three times the length of the

the last peduncular joint. 
The telson is truncated at the end so that
