Habitat preference: Beier (1963a) stated that N. (N.) erythrodactylum occurs predominantly in leaf litter of forests. In Slovakia, Krajčovičová et al. (2012) collected it from dead wood, organic material, and by pitfall traps in a wetland area, Christophoryová et al. (2017c) found it under tree bark and also in tree hollows, and Jászayová & Jászay (2022) reported it from the following habitats: beech and fir flowery forest and birch, floodplain alder forest with beech and grey alder. In Hungary, it has been reported from the soil of alder forest, from mixed forests of linden and ash, and from beech forest, and from oak forest, from beec-hornbeam forest, from oak-hornbeam forest (Kárpáthegyi 2007; Novák 2012, 2013a, 2016, 2018). During the present study it was found in oak forest, beech forest, oak-hornbeam forest, alder forest, marshland forest, in reed debris, and in peat moss.
Remarks: this species is widely distributed across Hungary.
Neobisium (Neobisium) fuscimanum (C. L. Koch, 1843)

Neobisium (Neobisium) fuscimanum: Beier 1963a: 113; Kárpáthegyi 2007: 84; Christophoryová et al. 2011b: 37; Harvey 2013; Červená et al. 2020a: 222; WPC 2023.
Neobisium fuscimanum: Kárpáthegyi & Kontschán 2005: 5; Novák 2018: 101.
Occurrence: Albania, Austria, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iran, Italy, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey (WPC 2023).
Known localities in Hungary: Rostalló (Kárpáthegyi & Kontschán 2005). Mogyoróska: farkas meadow; Mogyoróska: Castle of Regéc; Regéc: Csapotai oldalág; Regéc: Torintás Field; Telkibánya: well of King Matthias; Háromhuta: Flórika Spring; Háromhuta: Huta-völgyi-kút; Háromhuta: Márika Spring (Kárpáthegyi 2005).

New data: nil.
Habitat preference: This species has been reported from humid microhabitats of the upper soil layer, from plant debris, from grass and from moss (Beier 1963a). In Slovakia, Krajčovičová et al. (2012) found it in moss and organic material, and Jászayová & Jászay (2022) reported it from the following habitats: fir forest, beech and fir flowery forest with the presence of maple, beech and fir flowery forest and birch. Furthermore, it has also been found in compost heaps (Christophoryová et al. 2017a), in dead wood, and in tree hollows (Christophoryová et al. 2017c). In Hungary, it was found in alder forest and in beech-hornbeam forest, and in alder forest (Novák 2018).
Remarks: although Beier (1963a) listed Hungary as part of the distribution of Neobisium (N.) fuscimanum („ Ungarn, Siebenbürgen”), this site falls outside of the borders of modern Hungary. The species was first reported from Hungary by Kárpáthegyi & Kontschán (2005), and has since been recorded sporadically from the Zemplén Mts (Kárpáthegyi 2005; Novák 2018), where it was first found, and from the Aggtelek Karst (Novák 2018). Both areas are under a Carpathian influence in zoogeographic terms (Varga 1964).

Habitat preference: this species has been recorded from plant debris and cracks under stones as the preferred habitats (Beier 1963a). In Hungary, it has been found in willow forest, beech forest, alder forest, and poplar forest (Kárpáthegyi 2007).
Remarks: Daday (1889a) described Obisium (O.) macrodactylum from Mehádia in the Southern Carpathians, which was at the time part of Hungary, but now belongs to Romania. Based on Daday’s original record, Beier (1932a, 1963a) included it among the Hungarian fauna. However, the first record from modern Hungary was by Kárpáthegyi (2007).
