7. Phycosoma inornatum

– a scattered and very rare species of xerothermic (often karst) grasslands and open forests. Known only from three further recent records:

Strážovské vrchy Mts – Dolné Vestenice: Záviničie (48°42̍01̍̍N; 18°23̍17̍̍E, 230 m), pitfall trap, 2001, 4 specimens ( Gajdoš et al., 2009); Starohorské vrchy Mts – Jakub Protected Site (48°46̍0.16̍̍N; 19°08̍34.32̍̍E, 434 m), April 9, 2004, 1 ♂ P. Gajdoš rev. ( Franc et al., 2009); Krupinská planina plateau – Príbelce (48°12̍16.35̍̍N; 19°15̍0.89̍̍E, 328 m), forest steppe above the shooting range, June 21, 2008, 2 ♂ ( Franc, 2010a). Very rarely found also in the neighbouring Czech Republic ( Buchar et al., 2002), and apparently elsewhere.

Note: It ranks among little known species, because the species of the former genus Dipoena are di cult to identify.
