Distribution

Habitat

Forest, e.g., Alnus , Castanea , Quercus , Corylus , Populus ; from 193–800 m a.s.l.

Remarks

The lack of males from the northern part of the distribution area of this species was interpreted by Verhoeff (1921) as “klimatisch-geographisches Parthenogenese”. This seems to have been the first time that the phenomenon “geographical parthenogenesis” was recognized (see Enghoff 1994).
