Abstract

A survey of the terrestrial isopods of Plummers Island, Maryland and its immediate vicinity revealed the presence of ten species representing nine genera and seven families. All are believed to have been introduced into North America from Europe. Eight of the ten species occurred throughout the study area, while two generally were limited to the edge of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal towpath and the clearing around the historic lock keeper's house at Lock 11.
