Ecology and presence in Slovenia
The species is found in Europe, in the former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Ukraine. Its occurrence in Slovenia is questionable. Some older records were later found to belong to C. pusillus (Figure 89). The remaining records are from the pre-1950 period. Hosts include Pinus halepensis, P. pinaster, P. pinea and P. nigra. Monogamous species. Adult length is 1.0-1.2 mm. Similar to C. cinereus, it develops on trees previously infested by larger bark beetles and extends their tunnel systems (“space parasitism”).
