Abstract
Currently, ninety-five species and subspecies of Tardigrada are known in Slovakia (DEGMA et al., 2004). During sampling of moss-dwelling tardigrades in various regions of Slovakia, two additional species have been found on this territory for the first time. This brings the current number of Tardigrada species and subspecies reported in Slovakia to 97. All specimens were identified using keys and descriptions by PETERSEN (1951), RAMAZZOTTI & MAUCCI (1983) (and the English translation by BEASLEY, 1995), DASTYCH (1988) and BINDA & PILATO (1993). Specimens were mounted in Hoyer’s medium and deposited in the author’s collection (Department of Zoology, Comenius University, Bratislava). Distribution data for each species are given as continents only. Nomenclature of mosses is assumed according to KUBINSKA & MISIKOVA (1998).
