Abstract
The present catalogue lists data for a total of 176 specimens belonging to 18 species in the pseudoscorpion collection of the Czech arachnologist Frantisek Miller (1902–1983), housed in the National Museum in Prague. The material was collected during 1940–1976 in the modern-day Czech Republic and Slovakia. For these two countries, especially noteworthy items are species such as Mesochelifer ressli, Rhacochelifer euboicus, Neobisium brevidigitatum and Neobisium cf. jugorum.
Highlights
BioOne Complete is a full-text database of 200 subscribed and open-access titles in the biological, ecological, and environmental sciences published by nonprofit societies, associations, museums, institutions, and presses
The pseudoscorpion collection of the National Museum contains specimens preserved in ethanol, as well as some dry specimens
Given that the main collecting methods used were formalin pitfall traps and sieving, it is not surprising that half of Miller’s samples contain representatives of the family Neobisiidae, which are closely associated with the soil
Summary
All pseudoscorpion specimens are maintained in 80% etha nol. Almost all of them (with the exceptions of Rhacochelifer euboicus) were sexed and identified by the first author, using Christophoryová at al. Families are sorted systemati cally; genera and species are sorted alphabetically according to nomenclature used in Harvey (2013). The data are arranged as follows: locality – (number of mapping grid square) – date of collection – number and sex of specimens – (inventory number). The present administrative divisions of Europe are used. Within the Czech Republic, the historical regions of Bohe
