New Texas terrestrial isopods with notes on other species

In a previous paper (1 ) the authors reported new records and gave descriptions and figures o f new species of terrestrial Isopods. Further studies of their collections reveal additional material of considerable interest, and some of the findings are recorded here. I t is believed that careful collecting in the southern and western part of the United States will bring to light many additional forms. The species described herein as new were taken largely while collecting arachnids and myriopods under logs, rocks or in leaf mold. Since relatively little is known regarding the distribution even of some of the better known forms, all unpublished records in the authors' collection are included. The types described as new in this paper are deposited in the Zoological Collections o f the University of Utah. Other species of Porcellio or allied genera which could not be assigned definitely at this time are held for future consideration. Several of these will likely prove new.
