forests of the sub-alpine districts of the Alpes-Maritimes. [Peyerim- 

 hoff refers examples found on old pines in the Neederwald de La 

 Vancelle to this species, certain trunks having hundreds of cases on 

 them. His date of appearance for the imagines, " June 20th to the 

 end of the month," is very suspicious, although his reference to 

 Bruand's fig. 78 (S.lichenella), which = S. pineti, would suggest this 

 species.]
