Venezillo pisum
Venezillo pisum is a species of terrestrial isopod in the family Armadillidae, first described by Budde-Lund in 1885. The specific epithet 'pisum' (Latin for 'pea') likely refers to some aspect of its appearance or behavior, though the original description's reasoning is not preserved in available sources. As a member of the Oniscidea (woodlice and pill bugs), it is a detritivore inhabiting moist terrestrial environments. The species has been recorded in North America, though it may represent an introduced population given its original description from European material.
