Coronadillo is a genus of woodlice belonging to the family Armadillidae. This genus was first described in 1972 by Albert Vandel. This genus was subsequently revalidated by choosing a type species in 1993 by Stefano Taiti, Pasquino Paoli, and Franco Ferrara. The type specimen for this species is a Coronadillo milleri from New Zealand. There are currently 3 species in this genus.[1][2]
Coronadillo isopods have similar cephalon ornamentation to some other members of their family, especially the genera Anchicubaris and Pyrgoniscus.[3]
