I'm pretty sure this is Oniscus asellus |

It doesn't look right for Oniscus asellus, but I can't tell you what it is. A non-British species I think. |

I checked on Fauna Europaea and i saw that Oniscus asellus is present here in Romania....It is possible to get a genus for this woodlice? Thx you all for the reply  |

Cylisticus convexus has very long uropodes. |

I asked an expert: He said this is probably Trachelipus rathkii, but he couldnt'exclude T. nodulosus and he didn't know T. dimorphus and T. radui. Other Trachelipus are excluded. So there's your answer |

Hi, for an ID You should always photograph the underside of the animal also. And the head from front. That's more or less the only way to get a species-name. Regards, Walter Walter Pfliegler - Amateur Nature Photographer from Hungary (and molecular biologist) |
