During the survey seventeen species were recorded of which twelve are new to the area and four species [Chthonius(Chthonius) carinthiacus Beier, 1951, Chthonius (C.) diophthalmus Daday, 1888, Mundochthonius carpaticus Rafalski, 1948,Chernes similis (Beier, 1932)] are new to the fauna of Hungary. Five species, Microbisium manicatum (L.
