I'm pretty sure this is Oniscus asellus

Thanks a lot for help !

It doesn't look right for Oniscus asellus, but I can't tell you what it is. A non-British species I think.

The attached is Oniscus asellus, borrowed from ispot.org.uk.

Some Trachelipodidae maybe?

I checked on Fauna Europaea and i saw that Oniscus asellus is present here in Romania....It is possible to get a genus for this woodlice?

Thx you all for the reply

I am not expert, but what about Cylisticus convexus?

Cylisticus convexus has very long uropodes.

I asked an expert: He said this is probably Trachelipus rathkii, but he couldnt'exclude T. nodulosus and he didn't know T. dimorphus and T. radui. Other Trachelipus are excluded. So there's your answer

Hi, for an ID You should always photograph the underside of the animal also. And the head from front. That's more or less the only way to get a species-name.
