Hemilepistus schirasi is a species of woodlouse that lives in and around the deserts of central and southern Iran.[2] It can be distinguished from other species of Hemilepistus in Iran by the pattern of tubercles on the head. H. schirasi has six large tubercles in a semicircle, and rows of three tubercles extending to the outside corners of the head; other species have more tubercles, in different arrangements.[2]
