Hi, I found this specimen indoors, in early January in Vienna. We have a small christmas tree, so maybe it comes from there?
There are no oak trees nearby, and counting the antenna segments I reached less than 30, which comes closer to the conifer-loving C. pineticola, although that number is lower than what is described for that species (by Aspöck & Aspöck).
But there are only those two species in that genus and I think other genera can be excluded.
