The terrestrial isopod (Isopoda: Oniscidea) fauna of the Látrányi Puszta Nature Conservation Area SÁNDOR FARKAS AND EDIT VADKERTI The Isopod fauna of Látrányi Puszta Nature Conservation Area was uncovered. A faunistical and ecological research was started in 2002 to discover the woodlice species living there and to study the community structure and habitat preference of the Isopod assemblages. Pitfall traps and hand collecting were used as sampling methods. All the habitats were sampled that are characteristic in the Area: sandy grassland, fragment of wetland forest, marsh, alder and oak woods. A total of 262 isopod specimen were captured which belonged to 9 species: Ligidium hypnorum, Haplophthalmus mengii, Hyloniscus riparius, Trichoniscus pusillus, Platyarthrus hoffmannseggii, Trachelipus rathkii, Porcellium collicola, Armadillidium vulgare, Armadillidium zenckeri. These species were uncharacteristic in the examined habitats except of Ligidium hypnorum and A. zenckeri that live mainly in wet, humid places. All the other species are common and widely distributed in Hungary. The Isopod assemblage of the wetland forest had the highest Rényi-diversity value.
