Taxonomic Tree to North American Isopod Families

A taxonomic tree to all isopod families (and subfamilies where possible) currently known from our area is provided below as a sitemap to the taxon accounts. Taxa with hyperlinks (indicated by underlining) have complete accounts and are avaliable for public access, while non-linked taxa are still under construction. The family arrangement is due to change once more information is found, for groups where relationships are unknown or poorly known the families are arranged alphabetically.

At the time of the release of this website, no family guides are complete. Family guides are to be released as they are completed, so check this page as time goes on.
