Chthonius hungaricus and Larca lata new to the fauna of Slovakia (Pseudoscorpiones: Chthoniidae, Larcidae)

Chthonius (Chthonius) hungaricus Mahnert, 1980 and Larca lata (Hansen, 1884) were recorded for the first time from Slovakia. The finding of C. hungaricus in Slovakia is the second known record since its description and the finding of L. lata is the first record of the family of Larcidae in Slovakia. The descriptions of the species offer an update on the variability of morphologic and morphometric characters. Indications about the habitats of C. hungaricus are also given for the first time

First record of Parasitus americanus (Berlese, 1905) and Cornigamasus ocliferius Skorupski & Witaliński, 1997 (Acari: Mesostigmata: Parasitidae) from Slovakia

Two species of Parasitidae, Parasitus americanus (Berlese, 1905) and Cornigamasus ocliferius Skorupski & Witaliński, 1997 were found for the first time in Slovakia. Parasitus americanus is a cosmopolitan species, which was found in several cemeteries and in a botanic garden in Bratislava. Almost all records of C. ocliferius are from Poland except for one record from Egypt. Cornigamasus ocliferius was found in decomposed plant material in Western and Central Slovakia and in bird nests in Western and Eastern Slovakia; part of the material was previously published as Cornigamasus lunaris (Berlese, 1882) and is revised here

29 Arthropods in the nests of the Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) Článkonožce Abstract: In 2008 we analyzed nest material from 25 nests of the Common Kestrel nesting in the residential and rural areas of Bratislava. 4486 arthropod individuals were determined, belonging to the orders Coleoptera, Mesostigmata, Prostigmata, Astigmata, Oribatida, Diptera and Siphonaptera. The arthropod fauna in the nests of the Common Kestrel can be classified into 4 groups: mites, dipteran larvae, adult beetles and dipterans. Three families of avian ectoparasites were present, comprising 26% of the total arthropod abundance. The remaining 74% of arthropod abundance in the nests comprised coprophagous and nidicolous species. Abstrakt: Počas roku 2008 sme analyzovali hniezdny materiál z 25 hniezd sokola myšiara hniezdiaceho v intraviláne a extraviláne Bratislavy. Determinovaných bolo 4486 jedincov článkonožcov z radov Coleoptera, Mesostigmata, Prostigmata, Astigmata, Oribatida, Diptera a Siphonaptera. Faunu článkonožcov v hniezdach sokola myšiara môžeme rozdeliť na 4 skupiny: roztoče, larvy dvojkrídlovcov, imága chrobákov a dvojkrídlovcov. Ektoparazity vtákov boli zastúpené 3 čeľaďami a predstavujú 26 % abundancie článkonožcov v hniezdach, zvyšných 74 % tvoria koprofágne a nidikolné druhy
