| Sumario: | [eng] Two new Iberian species of terrestrial Isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea) of the family Porcellionidae are described. The specimens come from scientific collections preserved at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales de Madrid and at the Centro Iberoamericano de la Biodiversidad of the University of Alicante (Spain). These had previously been identified as Porcellio ingenuus Budde-Lund, 1885, and published under that name in various scientific papers. A re-examination of these specimens and their comparison with the holotype of P. ingenuus, located in the Zoological Museum of the Moscow State University (Russia), has allowed them to be described as new species, assigned respectively to the genera Mica Budde-Lund, 1908 and Porcellio Latreille, 1804. Mica iberica sp. nov. comes from Priego (Cuenca) and is the second known species of this genus. Porcellio cibioi sp.nov. was collected in Salamanca and is closely related to Porcellio scaber Latreille, 1804. In this paper we also illustrate and describe the type-specimen of P. ingenuus briefly, a species described in the 19th century based on a single female specimen from Lisbon (Portugal). |
