Abstract

A reexamination of the type series of the terrestrial oniscid isopod Lucasioides nebulosus Nunomura, 2000 led us to fully evaluate its generic position. The species is here transferred to the genus Agnara Budde-Lund, 1908. We redescribe in detail Agnara nebulosa comb. nov. based on the type series, and compare it with the closest relative, A. pannuosa (Nunomura, 1987).
