I was drooling over the exotic species in Blacksheep's post in Cavedweller's isopod thread, and figured I'd ask. I will also answer the question myself to get things started:
In approximate descending order of size:
Giant or Spanish orange Porcellio scaber
A few Dalmatian Porcellio scaber I recently traded for. At least one of them appears to be spotless.
Powder blue Porcellionides pruinosus--amazingly fast runners. Fast breeders, too! Maybe a little smaller than Porcellio scaber.
Dwarf striped (species unknown) these are probably the fastest breeders I have. Much smaller than the oranges or Dalmatians, but quite a bit bigger than the micros.
Micro white woodlice, Trichorhina tomentosa --the parthenogenic species that makes,for a versatile vivarium janitor.
Costa Rican 'purples' , also known as jungle Micropods (species unknown) --some of them have a reddish tinge to them, but many are more gray than anything.
