Abstract A redescription is provided of the adult, tritonymph and deutonymph life stages of the troglobitic Neobisium (Blothrus) slovacum Gulička, 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…

Insights into the Karyotype Evolution of Charinidae, the Early-Diverging Clade of Whip Spiders (Arachnida: Amblypygi)
TLDR
The family Charinidae is analyzed, a lineage almost at the base of the amblypygids, providing an insight into the ancestral traits and basic trajectories of ambly pygid karyotype evolution.
Pseudoscorpions (Arachnida: Pseudoscorpiones) from leaf litter of the Slovak Karst National Park
TLDR
Four of the 15 pseudoscorpion species were recorded in the Slovak Karst for the first time and two chernetid specimens and a single cheliferid deutonymph were recorded.

Karyotype diversity of pseudoscorpions of the genus Chthonius (Pseudoscorpiones, Chthoniidae) in the Alps
TLDR
Morphological types and size differentiation of chromosomes in the karyotype suggest that the main chromosomal rearrangements in the evolution of Chthonius are centric or tandem fusions resulting in a decrease in the number of chromosomes.
Karyotype analysis and achiasmatic meiosis in pseudoscorpions of the family Chthoniidae (Arachnida: Pseudoscorpiones).
TLDR
Findings of the achiasmatic meiosis in both genera, Chth onius and Mundochthonius, indicate that this mode of meiosis might be characteristic of the family Chthoniidae.

Molecular technique reveals high variability of 18S rDNA distribution in harvestmen (Opiliones, Phalangiidae) from South Africa
TLDR
The variability of the 18S rDNA sites indicates intensive chromosomal changes during the differentiation of the karyotypes, which is in contrast to the usual uniformity in chromosomal morphology known from harvestmen so far.
Karyotype Evolution in Harvestmen of the Suborder Cyphophthalmi (Opiliones)
TLDR
It is concluded that the ancestral karyotype of harvestmen consisted of 2n = 30 elements with 1 chromosome pair bearing terminal rDNA clusters, and the rDNA locus was multiplicated in the evolution of Cyphophthalmi.
The First Cytogenetic Characterization of Atemnids: Pseudoscorpions with the Highest Chromosome Numbers (Arachnida: Pseudoscorpiones)
TLDR
The karyotypes of pseudoscorpions of the family Atemnidae were studied for the first time and the high diversity of multivalents suggests considerable range of translocation heterozygosity in the studied population.
Description of a New Species of Heterometrus Ehrenberg, 1828 (Scorpiones: Scorpionidae) from Thailand with Remarks about the Utilization of Cytogenetic Data in Taxonomy of the Genus
TLDR
It is discussed the possible usefulness of karyotype as another interspecific feature applicable in the taxonomy of this scorpion group, which is morphologically closest to H. longimanus.
A karyotype study on the pseudoscorpion families Geogarypidae, Garypinidae and Olpiidae (Arachnida: Pseudoscorpiones)
TLDR
It is proposed that the karyotype evolution of the families Geogarypidae and Olpiidae was characterised by a substantial decrease of chromosome numbers, and the dip- loid numbers of some olpiids are the lowest known within pseudoscorpions and even one of the lowest within the class Arachnida.
A karyological study of four European species of Roncus (Pseudoscorpiones: Neobisiidae)
TLDR
The results of the first study on the karyotypes of four European species of Roncus show that the ancestral situation for this genus is a high number of chromosomes, which is very likely a consequence of centric fusions.
Karyotypes of the Neotropical pseudoscorpions Semeiochernes armiger and Cordylochernes scorpioides (Pseudoscorpiones: Chernetidae)
TLDR
The karyotypes and course of meiosis of two pseudoscorpions, Semeiocherne armiger and Cordylochernes scorpioides, are described for the first time and the X chromosome of both neotropical chernetids studied exhibits asymmetric, submetacentric morphology.
