{ Porcellio scaber Latreille 1804 }

Listed in: Block (1992: ref. 476).

Note. ‘This paper concentrates on marine mites but also mentions the Antarctic terrestrial fauna brie y ... Porcellio scaber , imported from Europe is mentioned’ (Block, 1992: ref. 476: sic). The source reference ( Lohmann, 1907), actually reports P. scaber as imported from Europe to ocean temperate St Paul I. The record is corroborated (Paulian de Félice, 1940), and a further European import is noted on Tristan da Cunha ( Holdgate, 1965). This species is introduced ‘throughout New Zealand’ ( Hurley, 1961), though speci c references to oOEshore Southern Ocean islands are not mentioned. Not listed in table 3.
