Ecology and presence in Slovenia
The species is distributed in Europe, the Caucasus and western Siberia. Siegel (1866) states that the species was “rare in Carniola, under beech, lime and elm bark”. The species was found in Slovenia after 1950 only in sites in Gorenjska and in the vicinity of Ljubljana (Figure 86). Hosts include Tilia cordata, T. platyphyllos and T. tomentosa. In Slovenia the species has been found on T. cordata, Hibiscus sp. and Syringa vulgaris. It develops two generations per year in central Europe, only one in northern Europe. Adult length is 1.0-1.3 mm (Figure 85). Saproxylic species of no major economic importance.
