The family Philosciidae Kinahan, 1857 is one of the most diverse within the suborder Oniscidea, surpassed only by the Armadillidae Brandt, 1833 (Sfenthourakis and Taiti, 2015). Philosciidae includes approximately 600 species placed in 115 genera and it is widely distributed in Australia, southern Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas (Leistikow, 2001; Schmalfuss, 2003; Taiti and Schott e, 2016). Th is family constitutes one of the most important groups of terrestrial isopods in tropical and wetlands habitats (Leistikow, 2001). To date, the family is considered paraphyletic due to characteristics shared with the families Halophilosciidae Verhoeff , 1908 and Scleropactidae Verhoeff , 1938 (Leistikow, 2001; Schmidt, 2008).
