TI  - Morphological and cytogenetic characteristics of Neobisium (Blothrus) slovacum 
      Gulicka, 1977 (Pseudoscorpiones, Neobisiidae), the northernmost troglobitic 
      species of the subgenus Blothrus in Europe.

AB  - A redescription is provided of the adult, tritonymph and deutonymph life stages 
      of the troglobitic Neobisium (Blothrus) slovacum Gulicka, 1977, which is known 
      from Slovakia and Hungary. Material examined included 35 previously deposited 
      museum specimens and 15 newly collected specimens. In addition, the karyotype and 
      distribution of 18S rDNA clusters are described, using fluorescence in situ 
      hybridization (FISH). The male karyotype of N.slovacum comprises 69 chromosomes, 
      with a predominance of biarmed chromosomes, and an X0 sex chromosome system. Two 
      pairs of signals for 18S rDNA on biarmed chromosomes (submetacentric and 
      metacentric) of different sizes were identified. The present study provides the 
      first information about the distribution of these clusters in the arachnid order 
      Pseudoscorpiones. The geographic distribution of the species is summarized and 
      mapped. Neobisiumslovacum is endemic to the Slovak and Aggtelek Karst area in 
      southern Slovakia and north-western Hungary, where it has been recorded from 16 
      caves. One of these, Hacavska cave (in Slovakia), is the northernmost locality 
      known for any species of the subgenus Blothrus.
