from Egypt

 (With a plate.) 



The first list of the Egyptian terrestrial Isopods is con- 

 tained in the great work "Description de l'Egypte" Paris 1826. 

 Savigny there published with extraordinary beautiful drawings 

 a number of ten 'species, those are: 1. Ligia italica Fabr., 2. Tylos 

 Latrcillei, 3. Porcellio (Oniscus) Olivieri, 4. Metoponorthus (Porcellio) 

 Clairvillei, 5. Hemilepislus (Porcellio) Beauimiri, 6. Porcellio loevis 

 Late, (P. Degeerii), 7. Metoponorthus (Porcellio) Sivammerdami, 

 8. Leptotrichus (Porcellio) Panzeri, 9. Armadillidium vulgare Latr. 

 (Armadillos]).), 10. Armadillidium badium~B.-L.l (Armadillo sp.). 

 The species are delineated with some enlargement and the most 

 part of them with details, so that it is sufficient for recognition 

 of almost all the species. 



Since then several species have been brought home to diffe- 

 rent European museums by several collectors, so that I could 

 enumerate in "Crustacea Isopoda Terrestria" 1885 26 species as 

 found in Egypt. 



The Swedish Expedition has again found some of the al- 

 ready known species and two new T species added to the fauna, 

 which also amounts to 28 species in all. I give in the present 

 paper a list of all the Egyptian Terrestrial Isopods hitherto found 

 and their distribution in other countries.
