Roncus lubricus L. Koch, 1873 ( Fig. 2D )

Deposited material: 34: valley of Luma river, 23.v.1918, 2 ñ ( NHMW 27562), leg. Penther A. ( Beier 1928).

Published data: unspecified locality, one adult (sex unknown), leg. Verhoeff ( Ellingsen 1910).

European distribution: Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom ( Harvey 2013b).

Notes: Roncus lubricus is distributed widely in Europe ( Harvey 2013b). Among its known distributions, Harvey (2013b) also mentioned Serbia. However, Ćurčić et al. (2020) did not include the species in the pseudoscorpion checklist of Serbia. The reason was the earlier redescription of R. lubricus as R. jarilo Ćurčić, 1991 and R. pannonius Ćurčić, Dimitrijević and Karamata, 1992 ( Ćurčić 1991 1992; Ćurčić et al. 1992 2004). Roncus lubricus is a typical soil-dwelling pseudoscorpion living in soil, leaf litter and moss and under stones in forested areas (e.g., Beier 1963; Legg and Jones 1988; Wijnhoven 2003).
