In 2007-2009, altogether 7,094 individuals of centipedes and terrestrial isopods were caught using the method of pitfall traps at 38 localities in the area of the mountain range of the Smrk and Kněhyně hills, the Čeladenka valley and Čeladná-Podolánky surroundings, the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts. Among 18 species of centipedes there are two species newly recorded for the territory, Lithobius biunguiculatus Loksa, 1947 and Lithobius pelidnus Haase, 1880. Our data present the first investigation of terrestrial isopods in this territory. Till this time, 32 species of centipedes and 7 species of terrestrial isopods were reported for the territory of the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts. and 33 centipede and 13 terrestrial isopod species of the Beskydy PLA.
