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. Six species of Alloniscus Dana ( 1854) have been described from the west coast of North America and from Hawaii: A. perconvexus Dana (1854), A. mirabilis (Stuxberg, 1875), A. cornutus Budde-Lund (1885), A. oahuensis Budde-Lund (1885), A. floresianus Dollfus (1898) and A. thalassophilus Rioja (1964). Of these six, only four (A. perconvexus, A. mirabilis, A. oahuensis and A. thalassophilus) are considered here to be valid. Alloniscus was instituted by Dana (1854) on A. perconvexus from California (no more specific location was given). The second species, Rhinoryctes mirabilis Stuxberg (1875) was recorded from San Pedro (now part of Los Angeles). Stuxberg's species was later redescribed as A. cornutus by Budde-Lund (1885). Two species have been recorded from Hawaii-A. oahuensis Budde-Lund (1885) and A. floresianus Dollfus ( 1898), but A. floresianus is considered here to be a junior synonym of A. oahuensis so A. oahuensis is the only species known from Hawaii. Rioja (1964) subsequently described A. thalassophilus from the west coast of Mexico near Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, thus bringing to four the number
