This paper describes the spider and Harvestmen fauna on tree trunks in the locality Lhotské Paseky near Lhota u Vsetína (Vsetín district, Moravia, Czech Republic). Spiders were collected by pitfall traps which were placed on tree trunks (spruce and beech) at three different heights - 0.5, 2 and 4 m. A total 33 spider species and 3 Harvestmen species were collected. More species were collected on the spruce trunks then on the beech trunks. Drapetisca socialis was the most abundant species on beech; Amaurobius fenestralis and Harvestman Platybunus bucephalus were the most abundant on spruce. A rare finding is the Carpathian endemic species Dasumia carpatica, Lhotské Paseky is a new locality of this species for the Czech Republic.

Keywords: Araneae, Czech Republic, Dasumia carpatica, Opiliones, tree trunks
