Abstract
El isópodo terrestre Armadillidium mateui Vandel, 1953 constituye un endemismo de la Península Ibérica poco común y prácticamente desconocido. La especie presenta una distribución fuertemente disyunta, con solo ocho registros publicados de tres regiones diferentes en el sureste, este y norte de España. Viendo este extraño patrón de distribución, la identidad de parte de la información publicada ha sido cuestionada. En este trabajo presentamos nuevos registros en la península ibérica y discutimos sobre la distribución conocida y potencial del isópodo endémico A. mateui, aparentemente mayor de lo previamente esperado.
