Gajdoš lgt. – the rst record for the territory of Slovakia ( Gajdoš et al., 1984)*; Strážovské vrchy Mts – NR Kňaží stôl (48°48̍15.70̍̍; 18°17̍30.35̍̍E, 542 m), June 3, 1984, 1 ♀ ( Gajdoš, 1986a)*; Pohronský Inovec Mts – NR Včelár (48°27̍01.48̍̍N; 18°28̍ 41.17̍̍E, 383 m), June 28, 1984, 1 ♀ (Gajdoš, 1987)*; Strážovské vrchy Mts – NR Veľký vrch (48°8̍54.07̍̍ N; 18°27̍13.82̍̍E, 385 m), summer 1985, several specimens ( Gajdoš, 1986 b)*. Krupinská planina plateau – Medovarce (48°14̍13.54̍̍ N; 18°59̍ 18.12̍̍E, 242 m), between rocks of a forest steppe, May 27, 1995, 1 ♂ ( Franc, 1999). Strážovské vrchy Mts – Dolné Vestenice (48°42̍44.69̍̍N; 18°23̍56.88̍̍ E, 348 m), xerothermic karst slope, July 2, 2002, 1 ♂ ( Franc, 2004); Burda Mts– Burdov (DFS 8178), 1 specimen J.Buchar lgt.( Gajdoš,2016).

* Note: Cited as Chalcoscirtus in mus (Simon, 1868), despite it has not been hitherto documented from Slovakia. These species may be confused; nevertheless, the male palpal organ of Ch. brevicymbialis is apparently shorter than in Ch. in mus (it re ects in its name). Faunistic records on these tiny jumping spiders may be sometimes debatable, because the taxonomic situation in this genus may be not clear, especially in older identi cation keys.
