On the knowledge of the pseudoscorpion fauna of East Germany. Based on the examination of over 23. 000 specimens, distribution, frequency/dominance, morphometric data and ecology of the East German false scorpions are presented. Most samples were collected by the authors, the rest are from museums and other persons. 38 species were recorded The preferred habitats and strata of the most species are described. Phoresy was observed for Allochernes peregrinus, Lamprochernes chyzeri, L. nodosus and Pselaphochernes scorpioides. Nine species live in ants nests. Zoogeographic aspects of the species assemblage are discussed in the world wide context. Distribution limits of four species run across the area of investigation.
Die biogeographische Sonderstellung der Berchtesgadener Alpen im deutschen Alpenraum ist hinlänglich bekannt. Zahlreiche Endemiten der (Nord-)Ostalpen erreichen an der Saalach ihre (nord-)westliche Verbreitungsgrenze (MERXMULLER 1952, HUBL 2001). Unter den Arachniden konnten solche Arten bereits bei Weberknechten (HAMMELBACHER 1987, BLICK & HAMMELBACHER 1994) und Spinnen (MUSTER 2000, 2001) nachgewiesen werden. Mit Chthonius (C.) alpicola wird erstmals ein Pseudoskorpion dieses Arealtyps vorgestellt.
