Abstract

We infer the relationship of Oniscidea by utilizing two genetic markers, COI and 16S, and build a topology using the Maximum Likelihood method. We found that troglobitic behavior to have arisen multiple times independently, and the genera Spherillo and Burmoniscus to be in need of revision.
