Ecology and presence in Slovenia
H. brunneus is a species long confused with Hylastes ater (Paykull, 1800) (Coleoptera: Scolytidae). The species is common in Belgium (Bruge 1998), but also occurs elsewhere in Europe, in the European part of Russia and in Asia. Only two finds have been recorded in Slovenia, but the actual distribution in Slovenia is unclear, also due to confusion with other species of the genus Hylastes. The only specimen found in Slovenia after 1950 was caught in a trap (Figure 10). Hosts include Picea abies, P. obovata, P. orientalis, Pinus sylvestris, P. strobus, P. nigra, P. heldreichii, P. cembra. Imagoes are 3.5-4.5 mm long.
