“…The first descriptions and records of Peruvian terrestrial isopods date back to the second half of the 19 th century (Miers, 1877;Budde-Lund, 1885), based on study material collected by foreign scientific expeditions. The richness of this group of crustaceans had a gradual increase in the last two centuries until reaching a total of 24 species, a figure that in turn is very low compared to other countries in South America, such as Brazil, whose species register approximately 192 (Campos-Filho et al, 2020).…”
This work aims to list all known species of terrestrial isopods from Peru until September, 2020. Also, Circoniscus ornatus (Verhoeff, 1941) (Scleropactidae) and Ethelum americanum (Dollfus, 1896) (Eubelidae) are recorded for the first time from Nueva Alianza and Nuevo Sucre, Contamana, Loreto department, Peruvian Amazon rainforest.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
