Scleropactidae
Scleropactidae is a family (biology), family of woodlouse, woodlice, with a predominantly Gondwanan distribution. It contains the following genera: *''Adinda'' Budde-Lund, 1904 (18 species) *''Amazoniscus'' Lemos de Castro, 1967 (6 species) *''Aulaconiscus'' Taiti & Howarth, 1997 (monotypic) *''Caecopactes'' Schmidt, 2007 (monotypic) *''Circoniscus'' Pearse, 1917 (10 species) *''Colomboniscus'' Vandel, 1972 (3 species) *''Colomboscia'' Vandel, 1972 (5 species) *''Globarmadillo'' Richardson, 1910 (monotypic) *''Globopactes'' Schmidt, 2007 (6 species) *''Haplarmadillo'' Dollfuss, 1896 (monotypic) *''Heptapactes'' Schmidt, 2007 (monotypic) *''Kithironiscus'' Schmalfuss, 1995 (2 species) *''Matazonellus'' Juarrero de Varona & de Armas, 1996 (2 species) *''Microsphaeroniscus'' Lemos de Castro, 1985 (5 species) *''Neosanfilippia'' Brian, 1957 (2 species) *†''Palaeospherarmadillo'' Broly, 2018 (2 species) *''Paratoradjia'' Ferrara, Meli & Taiti, 1995 (4 species) *''Protoradjia'' Arcang ...

Woodlouse
A woodlouse (plural woodlice) is an isopod crustacean from the polyphyleticThe current consensus is that Oniscidea is actually triphyletic suborder Oniscidea within the order Isopoda. They get their name from often being found in old wood. The first woodlice were marine isopods which are presumed to have colonised land in the Carboniferous, though the oldest known fossils are from the Cretaceous period. They have many common names and although often referred to as terrestrial isopods, some species live semiterrestrially or have recolonised aquatic environments. Woodlice in the families Armadillidae, Armadillidiidae, Eubelidae, Tylidae and some other genera can roll up into a roughly spherical shape ( conglobate) as a defensive mechanism; others have partial rolling ability, but most cannot conglobate at all. Woodlice have a basic morphology of a segmented, dorso-ventrally flattened body with seven pairs of jointed legs, specialised appendages for respiration and like ...

Animalia
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development. Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described—of which around 1 million are insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a bilaterally symmetric body plan. The Bilateria include the protostomes, containing animals such as nematodes, arthropods, flatworms, annelids and molluscs, and the deuterostomes, containing the echinode ...
