Title: A review of harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones) in Slovenia*
Abstract: The authors present a short historical faunistic, zoogeographical and ecological review of research on harvestmen (Opiliones) of the territory of presentday Slovenia, and discuss some actual ecological and nature conservational questions. Till recent, 64 species plus two subspecies of Opiliones inhabiting Slovenia are recorded, most of these are Alpine, European, Central- and Western European elements. Taxonomically, there are some open questions, especially in the genus Trogulus. A small number of further species can be expected in Slovenia, raising the potential final number to 69-71. Some harvestmen are locally and regionally endangered, especially by anthropogenous habitat and ecosystem changes.
