Species Spherillo misellus Budde-Lund, 1885

Armadillo misellus Budde-Lund, G. 1885. Crustacea Isopoda Terrestria per Familias et Genera et Species descripta. Hauniae : Sumtibus Auctoria 320 pp. [285].
Type data:
Holotype ZMB probably lost, TAS (as Terra van Diemen's).
Type locality references:
Green, A.J.A. in Poore, G.C.B. 2002. Crustacea: Malacostraca: Syncarida, Peracarida: Isopoda, Tanaidacea, Mictacea, Thermosbaenacea, Spelaeogriphacea. In Houston, W.W.K. & Beesley, P.L. (eds) Zoological Catalogue of Australia. Vol. 19.2A. Melbourne : CSIRO Publishing, Australia. xii 434 pp. (according to its author the holotype, then held by the Berlin Museum, was collected by "Dom. Scheyer". This must be Adolphus Schayer, a Superintendent of the Van Diemen's Land Company, who also donated Tasmanian Parastacidae to the Berlin Museum. Schayer was based at Circular Head (Stanley, from 1831) and at Woolnorth (1835-1843), both in far northwest Tasmania. Thus the type locality is very probably in the northwest corner of Tasmania)).
