Scyphacidae is a family of woodlice in the order Isopoda. It contains 6 genera and about 20 described species in Scyphacidae.[1][2]

Genera

These six genera belong to the family Scyphacidae:[2]

  • Actaecia Dana, 1853
  • Marioniscus Barnard, 1932
  • Quelpartoniscus Kwon, 1995
  • Scyphacella Smith, 1873
  • Scyphax Dana, 1853
  • Scyphoniscus Chilton, 1901

Taxonomy

The genus Scyphoniscus was moved by Schmidt (2002) from Scyphacidae to Detonidae, and this combination was reflected in a catalogue by Schmalfuss (2003). However, in a more recent paper (Schmidt & Leistikow 2004: Catalogue of genera of the terrestrial Isopoda. - Steentstrupia 28: 1-118) the genus was included again in Scyphacidae.
