Abstract
The terrestrial isopod Oritoniscus flavus (Budde-Lund, 1906) prove to be a complex of three closely related species: Oritoniscus violaceus s p. n., Oritoniscus intermedius Vandel, 1957 and Oritoniscus flavus (Bu dde-Lund, 1906) which are described or redescribed using all together morphological features, generics and molecular markers. These differen t approaches give convergent results confirming on the validity of the three taxa at a specific level.
