Armadillidae

Belongs within: Crinocheta.
Contains: Buddelundia, Cubaris, Armadillo.

The Armadillidae are a group of terrestrial isopods characterised by relatively short uropods forming part of the even posterior outline of the body (Muchmore 1990).

Characters (from Muchmore 1990): Eyes compound, of many ocelli. Second antenna with two-segmented flagellum, flagellum nearly as stout as basal segments. Uropods not extending beyond telson; basal segment of uropod large and expanded, contributing to posterior outline of body; both rami very small, attached dorsally and ventrally to basal segment. Telson broadly truncate.
