Abstract

New cases of phoresy of pseudoscorpions (Pseudoscorpiones: Atemnidae, Chernetidae) are recorded from Slovakia. The phoresy of the species Atemnus politus (Simon, 1878) involving owlet moth (Noctuidae) as a host is documented for the first time not only in Slovakia, but also worldwide. One phoretic female of Lamprochernes chyzeri (Tömösváry, 1883) was attached to the leg of a lance fly (Lonchaeidae). It represents the second known phoresy of the species from Slovakia and the record of a new host.
