Habitat preference: According to Beier (1963a) , this species lives under tree bark in floodplains, in leaf litter of bushes which are somewhat protected from floods. In other parts of is range, it is often a distinctively maritime species ( Legg & Jones 1988 ; Tooren 2005 ), which can be found under coastal stones and in rock crevices. In Slovakia , Krajčovičová et al. (2012) collected it by beating branches, and it was also reported from oak-hornbeam forests ( Christophoryová 2013 ), and from heaps of decomposing material ( Kaňuchová et al . 2015 ), and from bird nests ( Christophoryová et al . 2011d ), mammal nests ( Christophoryová et al . 2017b ), compost heaps ( Christophoryová et al . 2017a ), from dead wood and tree hollows, and under tree bark ( Christophoryová et al . 2017c ). It was found under tree bark in Albania ( Červená et al . 2021a ). In Hungary it has been found on tree trunks and in softwood grove ( Novák 2013a ), and in beech-hornbeam forest (Novák 2018). Muster et al . (2024) reported it from the country from localities corresponding strongly with areas of salt-affected soils and inland salt habitats. During the present study, it was found in the following habitats: softwood grove, spruce forest, swamp, alder forest, under litter in drift of sand, oak forest of leass, willow forest, poplar-willow forest, under bark of poplar tree, under alder tree, sifted from reed debris, and lakeside. Remarks: Dactylochelifer latreillii is widespread across Hungary .The taxon Chelifer tegulatus Tömösváry, 1882 was synonymized with Rhacochelifer peculiaris by Beier (1932b) , however, examination of the type specimens has revealed that they belong to D. latreillii . Furthermore, the specimens identified by Tömösváry (1882a) as Chelifer subruber and C . disjunctus also belong to this species, as well as the specimens identified by Tömösváry (1882a) and Daday (1889) as C . peculiaris . As D. degeerii and D. ninnii were recently reinstated to species status from being junior synonymies of D. latreillii , and the presence of both sepcies were reported from Hungary by Muster et al . (2024) , the revision of all Hungarian materieal earlier attributed to D. latreillii will be necessary in the future.
