Abstract: Twenty-seven species of woodlice were recorded from Hungary in 1994 during
a joint collecting trip undertaken by the British Myriapod Group and Hungarian experts.
Five species, Armadillidium vulgare (LATREILLE, 1804), Protracheoniscus politus (C.
KOCH, 1841), Trachelipus rathkii (BRANDT, 1833), Platyarthrus hoffmannseggii BRANDT,
1833 and Trachelipus nodulosus (C.KOCH, 1838), were widely recorded and accounted for
48% of the 1,200 specimens collected. The first Hungarian record of Trichoniscus
provisorius RACOVITZA, 1908 is given. Records of the apparently rare species, including
Trichoniscus steinboecki VERHOEFF, 1931, Hyloniscus vividus (C. KOCH, 1841), Haplophthalmus
montivagus VERHOEFF, 1941 and Lepidoniscus minutus (C. KOCH, 1838) are
presented for semi-natural habitats. It is suggested that some of these species, particularly
H. montivagus, may have been over looked and consequently may be under recorded.
Other apparently rare species, including Androniscus roseus (C. KOCH, 1838), Oniscus
asellus Linnaeus, 1758, Porcellio spinicornis SAY, 1818 and Armadillidium nasatum
BUDDE-LUND, 1885 are recorded from synanthropic sites. The potential value of synanthropic
habitats for Oniscidea is highlighted. A record for the centipede, Scutigera coleoptrata
LINNAEUS, 1758 is given.Keywords: faunistics, Hungary, Woodlice, Scutigera coleoptrata
