"Pests" of the pine forest

Community and Forum → Insects biology and faunistics → "Pests" of the pine forest

Good time of day!
Recently, in the Yalta Nature Reserve, I argued with a forester about whether or not to cut down a burnt forest. One of the questions I couldn't fully answer was rare, red book, endemic, Mediterranean, etc. vulnerable species associated with dead or damaged pines include not only the tree trunks themselves, but also zophages and parasites associated with these species, namely on the southern macroslope of the Crimean Mountains. If it is not difficult, please help...

The first thing that comes to mind is the nutcracker of Parrace, provided, of course, that these pines are relatively large.

Even under the bark of pine trees in the Crimea lives awesome hefty Trogossitidae, blue or green, only what is called now forgotten. Useful predator, eats all sorts of bark beetle larvae, bark beetles themselves and barbel larvae.

Fornax should tell you the name, I'm at work right now and I don't have a place to look.

Oh, I remembered! It seems Temnochilus coerulaeus

Aha, it was also the first one that came to my mindsmile.gif, but as an argument that as a result of total logging carried out since antiquity, this species practically disappeared frown.gif

Oh, I remembered! Temnochilus coerulaeus, I think

I didn't find anything about it in frown.gifthe net

Yeah, and this hefty barbel from the prionines, also seems to be known from the Crimean pines.

Macrotoma scutellaris

Zlatok remember: some Chalcophora intermedia, Phaenops formaneki, Buprestis dalmatina (rare), B. octoguttata, B. novemmaculata, B. haemorrhoidalis araratica are quite possible, Chrysobothris igniventris or even Ch. solieri is possible, the terribly rare Cypriacis splendens is quite likely. About antaxia generally silent - on some conifers develops almost endemic-Anthaxia mamaj.

Cypriacis splendens where did we catch it?

Macrotoma scutellaris

So he's a polyphagus, isn't he? Here, for example, http://www.cerambyx.uochb.cz/prinobius.htm

It looks like even though all the hardwoods are listed, but the photo just crawls along the pine

Yes, in my opinion, they haven't been caught anywhere for a long time... frown.gif
But, on the other hand, we have not caught Chrysobothris igniventris before either..

Polyphagus is a polyphagus, but in the Crimea it was only caught on pine trees.
