| Popis: | International audience; We describe and illustrate a new species of Armadillidium from Sicily, A. virgo n. sp., collected in two small caves in the Climiti Mountains on the Iblean Plateau (southeastern Sicily, Italy). Of the 200 specimens collected thus far, all are females. We compared this putative new species to A. aelleni Caruso Ferrara found in some Maltese caves, and they seem to be closely related. |
