Glomerida

Notes

The order Glomerida , according to published data, is represented by three genera in Slovakia - Trachysphaera , Glomeris and Geoglomeris ( Lang 1954, Kime and Enghoff 2011, Kime and Enghoff 2013, Kocourek et al. 2017). Genus Glomeris is rather problematic, as it represents a complex of species, characterised by inconsistency and unreliable determination information in the old literature. G. tetrasticha , G. hexasticha and G. pustulata represent well-confirmed species, occurring in the territory of Slovakia. Only one old record of G. klugii from Slovakia exists. In the area of Slovakia, some populations of the species of the genus Glomeris are characterised by a remarkable variety of colouration, which could indicate the ongoing speciation processes.
