Troglarmadillo Arcangeli, 1957
Type species: Armadillo cavernae Wahrberg, 1922
Fauna Portal Genus Number: 3374
(For species known from Western Australia): Dorsal surface highly convex, sometimes with shallow bumps but never with spines. Animals white, lacking pigmentation and without eyes. Frontal shield simple without modification and not raised from the vertex of the head. Endolobes on inner surface of pereonal epimera 1 and 2. Pereonal epimera 1 with thickened ventral margin. Exopodites of pleopods all with pleopodal lungs. Protopodite of uropod not long and tapering. Telson not hourglass shaped with distal portion subrectangular.
Apart from the obvious troglobitic characters, Troglarmadillo is very similar to Spherillo and the systematic position of the two genera is unclear.
