Kampimodromus corylosus Kolodochka View in CoL

Kampimodromus corylosus Kolodochka 2003b: 51 View in CoL ; Chant & McMurtry 2007: 37.

This species is often collected on hazelnut and seems a good predator of tetranychid and eriophyid mites occurring on this plant. But despite these very general observations, the biology of that species is almost totally unknown.

This is the first mention report of that species from Slovenia.

World distribution: Croatia, Hungary, Moldova, Ukraine.

Specimens examined: 16 ♀♀, 4 ♂♂ and 7 immatures in total. Kočevska Reka, Lake (aasl 567 m, 45°34’33”N, 14°47’25”E), 1 ♀, 1 ♂ and 1 immature on Tilia platyphyllos Scopoli (Malvaceae) , 18/VI/2019; Pragersko, Kvedrova ulica (aasl 250 m, 46°23’48”N, 13°40’11”E), 2 ♀♀, 2 ♂♂ and 1 immature on Populus tremula L. ( Salicaceae ), 20/VI/2019; Juršinci, Gabrnik 55 (aasl 301 m, 46°28’43”N, 15°58’2”E), 8 ♀♀, 2 ♂♂ and 3 immatures on Corylus avellana L. ( Betulaceae ), 2 ♀♀, 1 ♂ and 2 immatures on Prunus persica and 1 ♀ on Prunus cerasus L. ( Rosaceae ), 20/VI/2019; Šobec (aasl 418 m, 46°21’22”N, 14°9’2”E), 1 ♀ on C. avellana and 1 ♀ on Juglans regia L. ( Juglandaceae ), 21/VI/2019.
