Ecology and presence in Slovenia
The species is distributed in Europe, Turkey, the Caucasus, eastern Siberia and eastern Russia. Fuchs (1905) states that the species was “found by Prof. Dr. Peneke in the Julian Alps, in Bohinj, on hazel”. The date of the find is not given. More than 100 years later (2008), a second specimen was found in a trap in Zgornje Bitnje (Gorenjska). Therefore, it can be assumed that the species is rare in our area (Figure 104). Hosts include Corylus avellana, C. betulus, Fagus sp., Juglans nigra, Acer campestre, A. pseudoplatanus, Quercus spp., Pyrus malus, Prunus sp., Rhamnus catharticus, Salix sp., Ulmus carpinifolia, Syringa vulgaris and Frangula alnus. Adult length is 1.6-2.2 mm.
