On the fauna of false scorpions (Arachnida: Pseudoscorpiones) of south-eastern Belarus

Abstract

Seven species of the false scorpions have been found in the south-eastern Belarus during targeted studies in 2017-2019. Sylvatic forms represent a significant part of species diversity of the regional fauna of the false scorpions. Only one species, Chelifer cancroides (Linnaeus, 1761), occurs in synanthropic habitats.

Pseudoscorpions (Arachnida: Pseudoscorpiones) from the Curonian Spit National Park with Dinocheirus panzeri as a newly recorded genus and species from Lithuania

“…Recently, the first study dedicated to the pseudoscorpion fauna of Belarus, neighbouring Lithuania to the east, was published and filled the gap in the knowledge on pseudoscorpion distribution in Europe. The known pseudoscorpion fauna of Belarus consists of seven species belonging to six genera and two families (Ostrovsky 2020).…”
