其他摘要：The bilateral Slovak and Polish Pieniny National Park protects small important limestone area and surrounding flysch mountains in the north-east part of the Western Carpathians. Millipedes were traditionally studied on the Polish side while in Slovak side the faunistic research was neglected till now. During the years 1998–2008 the millipedes from three orographic units (Pieniny, Ľubovnianska vrchovina and Spišská Magura) in the Slovak side of the protected area (PIENAP) were investigated. In 54 samples 781 specimens were obtained, which belong to 25 species from 6 orders. The order Julida was the most diversified (12 spp), but the highest number of individuals belong to the order Glomerida with predominancy of Glomeris tetrasticha. The occurrence of Carpathian endemites Polyzonium eburneum, Xestoiulus carpathicus, Polydesmus tatranus is remarkable. Other one is Julus terrestris, which is rare in the Carpathian mountain ecosystems. Beech forests were the habitats with the highest diversity of millipedes (20 spp) in comparison with the other habitats. Altogether 28 species of millipedes are known from both side of bilateral protected area now. The absence of many Carpathian endemic species in the Pieniny National Park is discussed. Problems with taxonomy of Glomeris mnischechi are analysed in details, too. Morphological features are variable and published data to the distribution pattern and ecology of this species are controversial. If “G. mnischechi” is a result of hybrid cross of the other species, or geographic form of G. hexasticha or even endemic species is still unclear and it has to be exposed to precise scan-electron microscopic and molecular analysis of the specimens.
