	Porcellionidae Porcellionidae is a terrestrial family of the order Isopoda. This family contains 530 species, found on every continent except Antarctica. The ventral plate of the thoracic exoskeleton flare out slightly over the legs. This "flare" is called the ''epimeron''. The uropods, antenna-like structures at the back of the specimen, are flattened out and spearlike, and extend beyond the last exoskeletal plate. Genera The family contains 19 genera, and two further genera (''Inchanga Inchanga is a village in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, approximately halfway between Durban and Pietermaritzburg.

picture info	Porcellio Scaber ''Porcellio scaber'' (otherwise known as the common rough woodlouse or simply rough woodlouse), is a species of woodlouse native to Europe but with a cosmopolitan distribution. They are often found in large numbers in most regions, with many species (shrews, centipedes, toads, spiders and even some birds) preying on them. Taxonomy One subspecies, '' Porcellio scaber lusitanus'', is currently recognized. Two other subspecies were historically deemed valid but are no longer recognized. ''P. s. americanus'', described in 1932, was considered endemic the Americas. ''P. s. japonicus'' was described in 1928 and believed to be endemic to Japan. Both subspecies were synonymized with the nominate in 2020. Distribution ''Porcellio scaber'' is found across Central and Western Europe. In the United Kingdom, it is one of the "big five" species of woodlice. It has also colonised North America, South Africa and other regions including the remote sub-Antarctic Marion island, largely th ...
