- Abstract
An illustrated description of all developmental stages of the pseudoscorpion species Allochernes peregrinus Lohmander, 1939 is provided based on morphology and morphometrics. During the research, 48 specimens of Allochernes peregrinus were studied, with 46 of them collected in the Czech Republic and two in Slovakia. The analysis of female materials updated the known variability of morphological and morphometric characters, and the first descriptions of males and nymphs are given here. The main determination characters of the species are compared with those of other species in the genus Allochernes occurring mainly in neighbouring European countries. Habitat distribution of A. peregrinus is briefly discussed.
