| Beláková A; Smetana V; | Selected groups of Hymenoptera (Hymenoptera, Apocrita) from the environs of the future nuclear power plant at Mochovce (Slovakia) | 3-13 | |
| Abstract: Presented are the
results of a species composition of Hymenoptera (wasps, solitary
bees and bumble-bees) from 15 selected localities in the environs of
the nuclear power plant Mochovce. The authors found 9 species of
wasps, 51 species of solitary bees and 17 species of bumblebees. An
finding interesting from the entomogeographical aspect, is that of
rare species of bees Osmia xanthomeleana (Megachilidae). Key words: wasps, solitary bees, bumblebees, nuclear power plant, Slovakia |

| Cyprich D; Krumpál M; Kutsenko T; Poslavskiy A; | Fauna of birds' nests (Aves) of the Kemerovo region (Russia) with stress on fleas (Siphonaptera) | 15-25 | |
| Abstract: In 1991, 57 bird
nests belonging to three ecological groups (species building nests
in hollows, tree tops and bushes and in holes) were collected at
Kemerovo and its environs (Western Siberia), out of which a total of
2213 invertebrate specimens were extracted. A survey of the various
systematic groups is given in Tab. 1. Three main groups were
determined: Ixodidae, Heteroptera, Siphonaptera. Stress is laid on
the taxonomic position and lack of clarity of the flea genus
Ceratophyllus of the gallinae group (Fig. l, 2). Key words: Fauna of birds' nests, Siphonaptera, Russia |

| Košel V; Martinovský J; | Tipulidae (Insecta, Diptera) from the caves in the Western Carpathians (Slovakia) | 27-34 | |
| Abstract: In the
West-Carpathian caves in Slovakia we obtained, mostly in 1985-1993,
a total of 16 imagoes of Tipulidae belonging to 9 taxons. Most of
the specimens were of the Tipula scripta species (4 specimens).
Live specimens were found in June, July and August, perished ones in
January, July, August and October. The sex ratio was 9 MM to 6 FF,
in 4 species both sexes were found. Crane-flies in caves were found
up to a distance of 40 m at most from the entrance, just a short way
beyond the limit of the aphotic zone. In the euphotic zone, females
prevailed (5:2), while males predominated in the disphotic and
aphotic zones (7 : 1). Air temperature at the sites of occurrence of
crane-flies ranged from 4.7° to 12.2° C and humidity amounted to 70
- 100 %. Crane-flies were found more frequently and in larger
numbers in caves with a large entrance, rather than with a small or
a concealed one. We assume that their penetration into caves is a
resultant of a favourable coincidence of their ecological claims on
the external environment and the cave’s climatic conditions. Key words: Tipulidae, caves, seasonal occurence, spacial distribution |

| Krno I; Illéšová D; Halgoš J; | Temporal fauna of the Gidra brook (Little Carpathians, Slovakia) | 35-46 | |
| Abstract: The authors present
the results of hydrobiological study of the Gidra brook (Little
Carpathians) in the period 1988-1992. The subject of study were
zoobenthic species of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera and
Diptera (Simuliidae). 17 species of Ephemeroptera were found. The
most remarkable of 20 species of Plecoptera were the findings of
Leuctra albida and Leuctra braueri, further Isoperla oxylepis and
the species of the genus Perla (P. burmeisteriana and P. marginata).
30 Trichoptera species were found, the occurrences of Synagapetus
moselyi, Micrasema minimum and Plectrocnemia breuis were interesting.
Among 12 species of Simuliidae, the most considerable was the
finding of an abundant population of a species very rare in Slovakia
- Simulium degrangei. With respect to these results, the authors
propose to declare the upper part of the Gidra brook strictly
protected aquatic biotope. Key words: Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera, Diptera, Simuliidae, benthic fauna, Little Carpathians, Slovakia |

 |
| Abstract: A sessile peritrich,
Bezedniella prima n. g., n. sp., is described from the
freshwater Ostracoda of the genus Cypria. This species
differs from all other species of subclass Peritricha STEIN, 1848
except for Nuechterleinella corneliae MATTHES, 1990. Only
these two species have a laterally shifted peristome, not parallel
with the main body axis. With regard to the fact that the newly
described species has a branched stalk, it cannot be coordinated
into genus Nuechterleinella MATTHES, 1990, but belongs to an
independent genus Bezedniella n. g. Key words: Bezedniella prima n. g., n. sp., Peritricha, Ciliophora, systematics, morphology |

| Szentiványi M; Tirjaková E; | The structure and dynamics of the community of Ciliophora in the benthos of the Karlova Ves (Bratislava) branch of the Danube | 83-102 | |
| Abstract: In the course of the
years 1991-1992, the species spectrum, seasonal dynamics of
abundance and biomass, and the representation of trophic groups of
Ciliophora were traced in the dead branch of the Danube (1876.6 km),
which changes its character from flowing to non-flowing during the
year. Altogether 80 species of Ciliophora, 5 of them new to the
fauna of Slovakia, were found here. A large variation in the
percentage representation of bacteriovore species and the trophic
importance of bacteriovore and omnivore species in the given biotope
was found. Key words: Ciliophora, abundance, biomass, seasonal dynamics, food, branch, Danube, Slovakia. |
