Centipedes (Chilopoda) of the Latorica Protected Landscape Area

Original language description

In the Latorica Protected Landscape Area (PLA) and several adjacent localities, 31 species of centipedes (Chilopoda) have been recorded up to the present time. The main part of the extensive material collected within the soil zoological research in 2008-2011 was completed by several other sampling activities and compared with historical literary data. The centipede fauna of the Latorica PLA involves mostly European or Central European species, closely related mainly to the forest soils. The most abundant species were Lithobius forficatus, Lithobius muticus, Lithobius mutabilis, Lithobius curtipes and Geophilus flavus. The records of Cryptops anomalans, Henia illyrica, Schendyla carniolensis, Harpolithobius anodus, Lithobius dentatus, Lithobius piceus and Lithobius tenebrosus fennoscandius are of faunistic importance. Schendyla carniolensis is documented from Slovakia for the first time. Flooded or wetland habitats are characterized by the frequent occurrence of Lithobius curtipes and Lithobius forficatus, the species Pachymerium ferrugineum and Lamyctes emarginatus related to flooded soils were less abundant than expected. For the dry open grassland localities at elevated sites with andesite, limestone or sandy bedrocks were typical Cryptops anomalans, Henia illyrica, Schendyla carniolensis, the species with Southern European or Mediterranean distribution. Greater diversity of habitat conditions supports an overall more diverse centipede fauna throughout the area. Consistent protection of all main types of habitats, the choice of appropriate management, including the maintenance of floods in alluvium of this area, is important for the protection and conservation of the centipede fauna in the Latorica PLA and surrounding neighbouring habitats.
