Habitat preference: According to Červená et al . (2021b) , Chernes hahnii is strictly associated with tree microhabitats. It prefers open areas, where it can be found under tree bark, but sometimes in forests ( Beier 1963a ). In Slovakia it was found in bird nest ( Christophoryová et al. 2011d ; Christophoryová et al . 2017b ) and in heaps of decomposing material ( Kaňuchová et al. 2015 ), from compost heaps ( Christophoryová et al . 2017a ), from ant nests ( Christophoryová et al . 2017b ), in dead wood and in tree hollow, and under tree bark ( Christophoryová et al . 2017c ), and it was also collected by sifting of organic material, and sifting of rotten hay garden waste and compost ( Krajčovičová et al. 2012 ). In Hungary , it has been reported from the debris of a horse stable (Novák 2018). During the present study it was found in the following habitats: softwood groves, willow swamps, plant debris from a garden, from plane trees, under poplar wood, willow-poplar groves, under bark of plane trees and oak trees, oak forests on loess, and from barns. Remarks: Chernes hahnii was first reported from Hungary by Mahnert (1983) . Since then, it has been found in numerous new localities.
