Abstract

Pitfall samples were taken during summer 2003 in 25 habitats of the Baranya triangle (Croatia) to describe the isopod fauna. The 125 traps caught a total of 2,808 isopods belonging to 11 species: Haplophthalmus danicus, Hyloniscus riparius, Platyarthrus hoffmannseggii, Cylisticus convexus, Porcellium collicola, Protracheoniscus politus, Trachelipus ratzeburgii, Trachelipus nodulosus, Trachelipus rathkii, Armadillidium vulgare and Armadillidium zenckeri. The most characteristic species of the area are A. vulgare, T. rathkii, P. collicola and H. riparius. The composition of the isopod assemblage proved to be similar to that in the Hungarian part of the Drava lowland.
