Hybodillo is a genus of woodlice belonging to the family Armadillidae. This genus was originally described in 1931 by Werner Herold, but wasn't formally described until 1998 by Stefano Taiti, Pasquino Paoli, and Franco Ferrara.[1] The type specimen for this species is a Hybodillo colocasiae from Java. There are currently four species in this genus.[2]
