其他摘要：The work deals with the results of faunistic research of the species structure of harvestman (Opiliones) communities undertaken on 9 selected localities in the southwest part of the Čergovské vrchy Mts. (Northern Slovakia) in August 2011 and July–August 2012. Harvestmen were collected individually during several one-day excursions. In total, the occurrence of 11 species from 2 families (Nemastomatidae and Phalangiidae) was recorded. The obtained material consists of 69 individuals. Communities of the investigated area were dominanted by Phalangium opilio and Lacinius ephippiatus . The record of Gyas titanus is the most important. This species belong to the protected species of harvestmen in Slovakia. The most of species are mountain or euryvalent harvestmen, usually characterized also as hygrophilous and sylvicoles. The paper presents the first data on the occurrence and the distribution of these invertebrates in the concerned territory.
