North Carolina are brought together in an orderly manner for the first 

 time. A key to the species is provided, and their classification is given in 

 Table 1. 



MATERIALS AND METHODS 

 Isopods were collected by searching leaf litter, and looking under 

 bark and in and under decaying logs. They were sought under rocks and 

 trash along roadsides, in fields and in woods. Leaf litter and moss along 

 shaded streams and in swamps were also examined. Maritime drift lines 

 along margins of bays and the ocean were examined, including the 

 undersides of all flotsam. Isopods were preserved in 70% ethyl alcohol. 

 Whole animals were examined with a binocular microscope, and their 

 appendages (in glycerine mounts) with a compound microscope.
