Proporcellio vulcanius
Proporcellio vulcanius is a terrestrial isopod in the family Porcellionidae, described by Verhoeff in 1908. The species belongs to a genus characterized by reduced pleopodal lungs and adaptation to drier microhabitats compared to many woodlice. Records indicate presence across parts of Europe and northern Asia. The specific epithet 'vulcanius' suggests possible association with volcanic or warm habitats, though this has not been formally verified.
