First record of a representative of the order Palpigradi (Chelicerata: Arachnida) from Serbia
Summary. This contribution refers to the first record of the genus Eukoenenia Börner, 1901 (Arachnida: Palpigradi) in Serbia. One adult male was discovered in Provalija Cave, a part of the Cerjanska Cave System, near Niš in eastern Serbia. Based on diagnostic morphological characters, habitat preferences and the distribution of similar taxa, we conclude that it belongs to the Eukoenenia spelaea species complex.
