Diplocheta (millipedes)
Ligiidae is a family (biology), family of woodlouse, woodlice, the only family in the infraorder Diplocheta. Its members are common on rocky shores, in similar habitats to those inhabited by species of the bristletail ''Petrobius'' and the crab ''Cyclograpsus''. The family contains these genera: *''Caucasoligidium'' Borutzky, 1950 *†''Eoligiiscus'' Sánchez-García, Peñalver, Delclos & Engel, 2021 *''Ligia'' Fabricius, 1798 *''Ligidioides'' Wahrberg, 1922 *''Ligidium'' Brandt, 1833 *''Tauroligidium'' Borutzky, 1950 *''Typhloligidium'' Verhoeff, 1918 References Woodlice Isopod families {{isopod-stub ...

Ligia Oceanica
''Ligia oceanica'', the sea slater, common sea slater, or sea roach, is a woodlouse, living in the littoral zone—rocky seashores of the European North Sea and Atlantic coastlines. ''L. oceanica'' is oval, twice as long as broad, and may reach up to in length, making it one of the largest Oniscidea, oniscid isopods, although its placement in this suborder is dubious given more recent molecular phylogeny data suggesting a closer relationship with Valvifera and Sphaeromatidea. Its colour may vary from grey to olive green, and it has large compound eyes and long antenna (biology), antennae, two-thirds as long as its body. They are found in temperate, temperate waters from Norway to the Mediterranean Sea, and from Cape Cod north to Maine. It is a common species, occurring wherever the substrate of the littoral zone is rocky, and is especially common in crevices and rock pools and under stones. It is a nocturnal animal, nocturnal omnivore, eating many kinds of seaweed, diatoms, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ligia
''Ligia'' is a genus of isopods, commonly known as rock lice or sea slaters. Most ''Ligia'' species live in tidal zone cliffs and rocky beaches, but there are several fully terrestrial species which occur in high-humidity environments. Ecology Coastal ''Ligia'' species exhibit a mixture of terrestrial and marine characteristics, drying out easily, needing moist air and proximity to water to retain water. While they have gills and can exchange gas under water, they only do so when escaping terrestrial predators or being dislodged by wave action. They do not move swiftly in the water and are open to marine predation. They are well adapted to rocky surfaces and avoid sand, which opens them to terrestrial predation and desiccation. Taxonomy It has been suggested that ''Ligia'' is more closely related to marine isopods than it is to true woodlice Woodlice are terrestrial isopods in the suborder Oniscidea. Their name is derived from being often found in old wood, and from lou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eoligiiscus
''Eoligiiscus tarraconensis'' is an extinct species of woodlouse, the only species in the genus ''Eoligiiscus''. It was found preserved in amber at the Peñacerrada I amber site in Burgos, Spain. The preserved specimens date from Late Albian period. Etymology The genus name comes from Eos, the Greek goddess of dawn; the related genus ''Ligia''; and the Greek suffix -''iskos'', commonly used in wooldlouse genera names. The species epithet comes from Roman province Hispania Tarraconensis Hispania Tarraconensis was one of three Roman provinces in Hispania. It encompassed much of the northern, eastern and central territories of modern Spain along with modern North Region, Portugal, northern Portugal. Southern Spain, the region now ...; the site where the woodlouse was found lies within the historical boundaries of that province.
