Abstract

In the present work, terrestrial isopods of the family Eubelidae are investigated in Iran. The genera Periscyphis and Somalodillo are reported for the first time. More localities are presented for Koweitoniscustamei (Omer-Cooper, 1923) while K.shafieii Kashani, sp. n. is described and figured. A map indicating the sampling localities for the species is presented.
