Remarks
Porcellio humberti
was described by
Paulian de Félice (1939)
on specimens from Jebel Ayachi, in the High Atlas Range.
Vandel (1958c)
redescribed and partially illustrated the species, and added several localities in
Morocco
and southern
Spain
. A full set of figures of this species that integrate Vandel’ s redescription is here provided on specimens from St. 19.
