68 M. Červená, G. Kirchmair & J. Christophoryová dosus has been found phoretic until now only on three dipte- ran species (Mašáň & Krištofík 1992, Christophoryová et al. 2018). Phoresy of L . nodosus and P . alceae was already obser- ved in the past by Christophoryová et al. (2018). On the con- trary, present data of phoresy of L . nodosus and P . unifasciatus documented the first known record of a phoretic association of pseudoscorpions with true bug in Slovakia. Summarising the newly obtained data, phoresy of a pseu- doscorpion on a host from Heteroptera and phoresy of the genus Pselaphochernes were observed for the first time in Slo- vakia. In Austria, phoretic associations of C . hahnii , D . cyrneus and P . scorpioides with their hosts were recorded for the first time. Acknowledgements We are very thankful to all collectors for providing the material of phoretic pseudoscorpions and to all specialists for identification of the hosts.We would like to thank Katarína Krajčovičová (Comenius University in Bratislava) for the technical assistance with the figures and Gernot Kunz (Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz) for the provi- ded photo.We are grateful to Juan A. Zaragoza and one anonymous reviewer for all their suggestions and corrections which improved the quality of the paper.The work was supported by the Slovak Research and Development Agency under the contract no.
