Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
Trichorhina mulaiki is a species of woodlouse in the family Platyarthridae.
Distribution
Trichorhina mulaiki was found near Chilapa de Álvarez, Guerrero, Mexico, where it lives in humus in montane forests.[1]
Taxonomic history
The species was first described by Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff in 1933, as Mexicostylus squamatus. M. squamatus was the only species in the genus Mexicostylus, but that genus was later synonymised with the genus Trichorhina. Since that genus already contained a species T. squamata, a new name had to be provided, and so the species became Trichorhina mulaiki.[2]
