Remarks
:
C. lorifer
feeds on
Juncus effusus
and probably other rushes. This species was recorded in Switzerland for the first time in
2010
(Trivellone
2010
) and was collected in abundance from the phytocenosis of Sphagno-Caricetum rostratae in the cantons Ticino and Grisons. The single macropterous female of
C. lorifer
was collected in avineyard under ahigh mowing disturbance regime with small scattered patches of the nearctic neophyte
Juncus tenuis
.
