This is the first record of this species from Syria . It has been mainly collected on Pinaceae and particularly found in Europe and Asia ( Castro et al. , 2021 ). The collecting of C . lineola on unusual host plants in this study (e.g. C . calcitrapa ) could be due to the growing of these plants under several tree species belonging to Pinaceae or other families, which constitute a possible source of this mite in particular at the beginning of spring when the samples were taken.
