摘要: Nine species of terrestrial isopods are reported for the Polynesian island Rapa Nui (Easter Island) based upon museum materials and recent collections from field sampling. Most these animals non-native species, but two new to science: Styloniscus manuvaka sp. n. Hawaiioscia rapui Of these, former is believed be a endemic as it has been recorded Iti, Austral Islands, while latter identified endemic. Both considered ‘disturbance relicts’ appear restricted cave environment on Nui. A short key all oniscidean presently provided. We also offered conservation management recom mendations isopod species.
