A Review of the Species of the Genus Tylos Latreille From the New World (Isopoda, Oniscoidea)

A Review of the Species of the Genus Tylos Latreille From the New World (Isopoda, Oniscoidea) A REVIEW OF THE SPECIES OF THE GENUS TYLOS LATREILLE FROM THE NEW WORLD (ISOPODA, ONISCOIDEA) BY GEORGE A. SCHULTZ 15 Smith St., Hampton, N.J., 08827, U.S.A. The isopod genus Tylos Audouin, 1825 (family Tylidae) contains from 16 to 20 species according to the interpretations of various authors. TyloJ and Helleria are the only genera in the family. Helleria contains one species only, H. brevicornis Ebner. Vandel (1960) placed the two genera in the subfamilies Tylinae and Hellerinae. Five species of T'ylos are recorded from the New World. They are as follows: Tylos latreillei Audouin, 1825, Tylos spinulosus (Dana, 1853), Tylos niveiis Budde-Lund, 1885, Tylos i.vagneri Vandel, 1952, and Tylos punctatus Holmes & Gay, 1909. The isopods can be found on beaches from just below low tide level to a level high on the upper part of the beach. On rocky or coralline beaches the species are found in the crevices and cracks between and among the rocks, and on sandy beaches they make burrows in the sand. Many times the species are found under the thick masses of seaweed and detritus on the marine drift regardless of the substrate. They are not encountered among the mangrove roots http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Crustaceana Brill

Abstract

A REVIEW OF THE SPECIES OF THE GENUS TYLOS LATREILLE FROM THE NEW WORLD (ISOPODA, ONISCOIDEA) BY GEORGE A. SCHULTZ 15 Smith St., Hampton, N.J., 08827, U.S.A.
