description
Note 2: Revised in Hlisnikovský (1964 a) and Miller & Wheeler (2005 b) and Wheeler & Miller (2005). Note 3: Wheeler & Miller (2005) abandoned the use of subgenera and proposed a system of species groups, as used below, which may have some relationship to previously established subgenera. Most Mexican and Central American species are in the oniscoides species group. The rich species diversity of Mexico and Central America is obviously only partly known. Key: to species groups in Wheeler & Miller, 2005: 37. Distribution: 822 spp. — Holarctic, Africa, Oriental, northern Neotropical. Note 4 — Species wrongly reported for the Neotropics:
