New species and new records of terrestrial isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea) from Brazil

“…In Brazil, Balloniscus is represented by two species, B. glaber and B. sellowii (Brandt, 1833). B. glaber differs from B. sellowii in the color aspects (three longitudinal pigmented rows, one centrally and one in each lateral margin in B. sellowii), telson with apical portion surpassing the distal margin of uropod protopod (not surpassing in B. sellowii), and shape of male pleopod 1 exopod with distal margin straight (rounded in B. sellowii) (Araujo & Zardo, 1995).…”

Growth curve of Balloniscus glaber Araujo & Zardo (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea) from Parque Estadual de Itapuã, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

“…The southernmost Brazilian state, Rio Grande do Sul, harbors many endemic Neotropical isopd species (ARAUJO & ZARDO 1995, ARAUJO 1999, ARAUJO & QUADROS 2005. One of these species, Balloniscus glaber Araujo & Zardo, 1995, (Balloniscidae) This study aimed at describing the von Bertalanffy growth curve of B. glaber based on field data.…”
