Identification
P. floria was separated from the European P. pruinosus by Garthwaite and Sassaman (1985), but morphologically the two species are very similar. Both are widespread, synanthropic species in the USA; all the specimens examined from S. California by Garthwaite and Sassaman turned out to be P. floria. Compared with other oniscideans in the area, the long legs (pereopods), pruinose grey coloration and (usually) white-banded antennae are distinctive.
