Nuevos datos sobre Rushia parreyssi (Mulsant, 1856), Melandrydae Leach, 1815 y otros coleópteros interesantes de la sierra de Prades, Tarragona (Coleoptera)

In a study on drought-induced Pinus sylvestris mortality in the Mediterranean, we explored the relationship between trees’ mortality and arthropods, specifically with beetles. The Iberian area chosen for the study was the Tillar, located in the Sierra de Prades, nearby Vimbodí i Poblet (Tarragona). The area is in a mixed forest of P. sylvestris and Quercus sp. (oaks), including old trees and without any recent management. In order to study the fauna of beetles associated with P. sylvestris, we carried out a comprehensive survey by using flight interception traps, pitfall trap and in situ Berlese traps. We recovered a very interesting group of species which deserve to be discussed independently of the project.
