Annobodillo is a genus of woodlice belonging to the family Armadillidae.[1] This genus was described in 1983 by by Helmut Schmalfuss and Franco Ferrara.[2] The type specimen for this species is an Annobodillo coecus from Annobón. There is currently only one species in this genus.[2]
Description
The body of this genus is pigmentless and they have no traceable ocelli. They are able to fully conglobate. They have vertical epimera. Their frontal lamina protrude slightly past the end of their head. Their first pereonal segment is thickened laterally and grooved along its length. Their second pereonal segment has triangular epimeron and small tooth on the ventral surface. their third pereonal has a very slight transverse ventral thickening. Thier telson are hour-glass-shaped with a short distal part. Their uropod protopodite is distally rectangular. They have exopodites.[3]
Remarks on similar genera
The genus Annobodillo is similar to Tuberillo, from which it differs in the steep epimera, very low frontal lamina and absence of ornamentation. This genus is also similar to Venezillo, from which it differs in the shape of its first and second pereon segments and its ability to fully conglobate.[3]
Distribution
This genus is endemic to the island of Annobón in Equatorial Guinea.[4]
Etymology
The name of the genus Annobodillo refers to the island Annobón plus the common isoopod suffix "-dillo".
