Abstract

FOUR SPECIES OF ALLONISCUS DANA, 1854, FROM THE WEST COAST OF NORTH AMERICA AND HAWAII (ISOPODA, ONISCOIDEA) BY GEORGE A. SCHULTZ 15 Smith St., Hampton, N.J., 08827 U.S.A.

Of these six, only four (A. perconvexus, A. mirabilis, A. oahuensis and A. thalassophilus) are considered here to be valid.
