Filling a gap: First record of the pseudoscorpion Lamprochernes abditus (Pseudoscorpiones: Chernetidae) in Slovakia
Eine Lücke füllen: Erster Nachweis des Pseudoskorpions Lamprochernes abditus (Pseudoscorpiones: Chernetidae) in der Slowakei
Heft 70
The cryptic pseudoscorpion species, Lamprochernes abditus Christophoryová, Krajčovičová, Šťáhlavský, Španiel & Opatova, 2023, previously confirmed in neighbouring countries, is reported from Slovakia for the first time. Specimens from two localities were analysed and identified based on morphology and their COI sequences. Additionally, the specimens are morphologically described herein and compared with the original description of the species. These findings expand the current knowledge of both, the species’ distribution and the pseudoscorpion fauna of Slovakia.
