Habitats: Erpobdella nigricollis is an inhabitant of large- or medium-sized running waters, where it occurs frequently with (although less abundantly than) Erpobdella octoculata .

Status: The distribution of E. nigricollis in the Czech Republic is scattered throughout the entire country, especially in lowland habitats; however, it seems to be absent from habitats located at higher elevations (over 500 m a.s.l.).
