Aptera
2.5–3.5 mm
, similar to
C. pini
(on
Pinus sylvestris
and
P. mugo
), but hairs on abdomen longer, there are several rather long hairs up to
0.1 mm
long between the siphuncular cones. Further, the length of RIV+V is 1.2–1.5 times the length of the second tarsal segment (in
C. pini
less than 1.2). The diagnosis is based on
