Abstract

We describe the terrestrial isopod species Protracheoniscus vasileradui n. sp. collected from the deciduous forest in the Liuborajdea Valley, Iron Gates (Porţile de Fier) area. We named it Protracheoniscus vasileradui n.sp., in the memory of Prof. V. Gh. Radu, who was a renowned specialist in terrestrial isopods.
