Eleoniscus is a genus of the small terrestrial crustaceans known as woodlice. It includes one species, Eleoniscus helenae, which is endemic to Alicante province, Spain,[2] where it is known from two caves.[3] It may have been extirpated from one of the two caves (the species' type location) through the increasing urbanisation of the Macizo de Montgó.[3]
