For the Mexican oniscideans of the family Armadillidae, 6 species of the genus Cubaris Brandt, 1833 and 18 species of the genus Venezillo Verhoeff, 1928 have been recorded. Of them, only Venezillo stuckchensis (Mulaik, 1960) has been registered for the Baja California Peninsula (BCP). This species was described upon a single male and no biological studies exist on this taxonomic entity since its original description in 1960. In this work, we redescribe V. stuckchensis including the designation of a neotype and paratopotypes using specimens from the type locality.
