Troglodillo is a genus of isopods belonging to the family Armadillidae. This genus was described in 1937 by Harold Gordon Jackson. The type specimen of this genus is a Troglodillo emarginatus that was found in Northern Thailand. There are currently three species in this genus.
== Description == The pronotum of Troglodillo is narrow and the postero-lateral angles are well developed. The posterior margin of the abdomen has the semicircular shape typical of conglobating forms of isopods though this genus has a reduced ability to conglobate. They have tubular pleopodal lungs. Their eyes are not reduced as is found in some cave-dwelling isopods.
