Ecology and presence in Slovenia
It is distributed in the mountainous areas of central Europe as far south as southern Sweden, in the south-western and southern parts of the European part of the former Soviet Union, Crimea, Caucasus, North Africa and Asia. Recent records in Slovenia are limited to Gorenjska and Slovene Istria and trap catches (Figure 9). Hosts include Pinus sylvestris, P. nigra, P. halepensis, P. pinaster, Pinus spp., exceptionally Picea abies. In Slovenia (Prekmurje), P. sylvestris has been recorded as the only host. It produces 1 to 2 generations annually, swarming in March and April and in June and July. The tunnel system is longitudinally uniramous. Adult length is 2.0-2.6 mm (Figure 8).
