Laureola is a species of woodlouse belonging to the genus laureola. It was discovered living in China by Weichun Li and Yutao Wang in 2022.[1]
Description
editUnlike many other isopod species, Laureola leucocephala appears "spiky", that is to say it carries long spines along it's pereon (back).
Their bodies are elliptic and are one of many isopod species with the ability to endoantenally conglobate, meaning they can protect their antennae as they roll into a ball. The females are longer than the males, respectively being 3.3-3.5 mm to 3.3-3.8 mm in length.
