Abstract The authors of this article provide data on the occurrence and ecology of three little-known myrmecophilous spiders (Acartauchenius scurrilis O.P.-Cambridge, Thyreosthenius biovatus O.P.-Cambridge and Mastigusa arietina Thorell) in Slovakia. The mountain record of M. arietina at the foot of the Západné Tatry Mts is especially remarkable.
