Ecology and presence in Slovenia
The species is distributed in the Mediterranean area of Europe and the Caucasus. Hosts include Pinus halepensis, P. pinaster, P. pinea, P. nigra, P. heldreichii, and less commonly Abies pinsapo. In Slovenia, with the exception of the records in Trnovo Forest (on Abies alba, in the extended tunnel system of Pityokteines spinidens) and in Koper (on P. pinea, in the extended straight system of Orthotomicus erosus), all other records were the result of trapping at various locations in the Slovene part of Istria (Figure 94). Develops 1-3 generations per year, first swarming in March. Adult length is 1.4-1.6 mm.
