Sixteen species of terrestrial isopods are recorded from Yemen. Two genera (Socotroniscus and Dioscoridillo) and six species (Socotroniscus sacciformis, Xeroniscus sulcatus, Periscyphis minor, Koweitoniscus vanharteni, Angarbia (?) lobata and Dioscoridillo melanoleucos) are described as new. Platyarthrus aiasensis, Agnara madagascariensis and Armadillidium vulgare are newly recorded from Yemen; the first species represents a new record for the Arabian Peninsula. The total number of terrestrial isopod species known from Yemen is now 20, and from the whole Arabian Peninsula and surrounding islands is now 40.

Abstract
Sixteen species of terrestrial isopods are recorded from Yemen. Two genera (Socotroniscus and Dioscoridillo) and six species (Socotroniscus sacciformis, Xeroniscus sulcatus, Periscyphis minor, Koweitoniscus vanharteni, Angarbia (?) lobata and Dioscoridillo melanoleucos) are described as new. Platyarthrus aiasensis, Agnara madagascariensis and Armadillidium vulgare are newly recorded from Yemen; the first species represents a new record for the Arabian Peninsula. The total number of terrestrial isopod species known from Yemen is now 20, and from the whole Arabian Peninsula and surrounding islands is now 40.File in questo prodotto:
