Distribution of palpigrades (Arachnida, Palpigradi) in Slovenia with a new record of Eukoenenia austriaca (Hansen, 1926)

Zagmajster, Maja (author), Kováč, L´ubomir (author)

So far, three species of the palpigrade genu> Eukoenenia have been found In Slovenia, predominantly in caves in the southern parts of the countryČ Eukoenenia austriaca (Hansen, 1926), E. spelaea (Peyerimhoff, 1902) and E. gasparoi Conde, 1988. Distributional map of the species mentioned is provided.In 2005, a subadult ma!e of E. austriaca was collected in Migutovo brezno Cave, which is the frst palpigrade record from the northwestern part ofSlovenia. It was found on the surtace of a small puddle in clay sediment deposited on the rocks of a narrovČ channel about 100 m from the cave entranceand about 15 m below the surface. Based on opisthosomal chaetotaxy, itdiffers from the nominal subspecies, and additional specimens from the locality would be required for exact subspecific determination. Microhabitats inhabited by palpigrades and collecting methods used are discussed.
