Distribution

AT, BE, BG, CZ, DE, GR-GRC, HU, LT, MK, PL, RO, SK, UA. Central and Eastern European. Also found in Stavropol, northern Caucasus, Russia ( Zuev 2014).

Habitat

Forests, e.g., Fagus sylvatica , Pinus nigra , mostly in dead wood, but also found in litter. Oak-Hornbeam forest ( Quercus / Carpinus ). A mainly lowland species, recorded up to 550 m. The Belgian records are from a greenhouse and its immediate vicinity and it must have been an introduction ( Biernaux 1972). Jawłowski (1933a) found the species exclusively in hothouses and similar artificial habitats in Poland. The Belgian and Polish records are, therefore, not shown on the map.

Remarks

Reports from France probably relate to C. parisiorum or perhaps C. truncorum ; C. arborum is not included in the French checklist ( Geoffroy 1996). The record from Lithuania ( Schubart 1934) does not include a specific locality and is not shown on the map. The species has a patchy distribution in central continental Europe, extending south into the Balkans and rarely west of the River Elbe.
