Heft 63
The present paper presents new data on the diversity and distribution of pseudoscorpions from seven localities in the Stebnicka Magura massif in the Low Beskids, two localities in the East Carpathians Protected Landscape Area (PLA) and one locality in the Vihorlat PLA, Slovakia, collected by sieving methods. Altogether, 372 pseudoscorpion specimens belonging to 15 species and four families were sampled over three years (2007, 2010, 2015). The most abundant families were Neobisiidae (335 specimens, nine taxa) and Chthoniidae (33 specimens, four taxa); while the families Cheiridiidae and Chernetidae were represented by only one species each. Neobisium sylvaticum (C. L. Koch, 1835), Neobisium erythrodactylum (L. Koch, 1873), Ephippiochthonius boldorii (Beier, 1934), Ephippiochthonius tetrachelatus Preyssler, 1790 and Roncus sp. were recorded only in the East Carpathians PLA within our study. The most abundant species was Neobisium crassifemoratum (Beier, 1928). The species Ephippiochthonius boldorii and Ephippiochthonius fuscimanus (Simon, 1900) were found in this area for the first time.
