Holocyclic, monoecious on  Picea.Spruce and mixed forests. In dense colonies on stem and underside of branches, often high up in the trees, particularly on twigs with developing cones. Often also on young solitary spruces. Usually ant-attended. Moves restlessly around when disturbed and often falls to the ground where it may move to exposed roots.    Recorded hosts  Pinaceae:  Picea abies*,  glauca,  omorika,  orientalis,  pungens,  sitchensis,  tianschanica, spp. (Due to the agility of  C. piceaeand the similarity between  C. piceaeand  C. curvipes, I suggest that records from  Abiesand other genera should be confirmed.)   Recorded attendant ants  Formicinae:  Camponotus herculeanus*;  Formica polyctena*,  truncorum*;  Lasius niger*.    Distribution D F N S.
