“…In Northern Europe, there is a lack of studies dedicated to this arachnid order in general. In the Nordic countries, 20 species are known from Sweden, 19 from Denmark, 19 from Norway, 17 from Finland, 2 in Iceland and 1 in The Faroe Islands (Stol 2006, Uddström & Rinne 2014, Henriksen & Hilmo 2015, Fjellberg & Lissner 2016. Recently, Sammet et al (2016) published an annotated checklist for Estonia that includes nine species listed for the Estonian pseudoscorpion fauna for the first time.…”

First records of pseudoscorpions from Lithuania are presented based on specimens preserved in Lithuanian collections and new material collected during the latest ten years. Pseudoscorpions were collected at 25 localities in both deciduous and coniferous forests at altitudes of 5 to 186 m above the sea level. Sifting of litter and moss, pitfall traps and collecting by picking under the bark of deadwood were used as the collecting methods. Altogether 132 specimens belonging to eight species from three families were recorded. The findings of Neobisium crassifemoratum (Beier, 1928) represent the northernmost known records of the species.

“…Thus, prior to our study, six species have been documented to occur in Estonia. From the neighbouring countries, there are 12 species known from Latvia , Jansson & Hultengren 2002, Telnov & Salmane 2015, 17 species from Finland (Uddström & Rinne 2014) and 21 from Sweden (Gärdenfors & Wilander 1992). In the NorthWestern part of Russia and Lithuania, pseudoscorpions are as yet too little known for any diversity estimates.…”

The current knowledge of pseudoscorpions in Estonia is summarized, based on specimens preserved in various Estonian collections and new material collected from 1993 to 2015. Altogether 474 studied specimens belonged to 14 species, including nine species recorded from Estonia for the first time. Supplemented by Apocheiridium rossicum, listed by literature data only, the number of known Estonian pseudoscorpions is now set at 15. The findings of Mesochelifer ressli are the northernmost known for the species. Some ecological and phenological observations were made on the most common species, along with notes on the habitat preferences of other species and the use of different trapping methods. The composition of the known Estonian fauna is compared with the published records from the neighbouring countries, revealing a highest similarity to the Finnish fauna.The possible occurrence of other species in Estonia and the latitudinal species diversity gradient in the Eastern Baltic region are shortly discussed.
