Zoology
Platan-Fiser Forest, made up of oaks and sessile. This forest consists of numerous species, such as maple and platinum. Also, on the east side of the site, the Burih Forest can be found, as well as on old Pinus sylvestris pine plantation, with specific types of trees. Among the rare coleopteran species, the following are particularly worth mentioning: Lucanus cervus, Osmoderma barnabita, Aesalus scarabaeoides, Cerambyx cerdo, Cetonischema speciossissima, Gnorimus octopunctatus. Access can be granted in DN 43, beyond Bunesti, towards Fiser. At the top of the hill, paths which lead to oak pastures can be found near the forest. • The oak pasture on the Capra Hill Locality of reference — Bunesti, BV. Coordinates in a central point: 46° 05.2011 si 025°05.162. It is an important pasture with oaks, among which a few specimens are of secular age and have hollows. Most of them have been taken down, so only the remaining rotten stumps can be observed, as their diameter is of 2 meters. At the peak of the hill there can be found a large number of old beeches; unfortunately, many of them have been cut. Rare species of coleopterans that have been identified are: Osmoderma barnabita, Cerambyx cerdo, Rosalia alpina, Lucanus cervus. The preservation of the current state and the protection of old oaks is important. Access can be granted beyond the Bunesti Village, on DN 43 towards Fiser, following paths that start on the right side of the road. • La Tufe pasture and forest Locality of reference - Roades, BV. Coordinates in a central point: 46°07.768 si 025°05.085 The area is situated near the Lenta Forest (Fig. 5), where numerous old oaks have grown — approximately 30, in total. The oak population is extended in the forest, as well as the nearing pasture. Next to the oaks, there can be seen secular beeches and hornbeam. The burning and cutting of oaks represent threats. The site of secular oaks is in great danger, as a lot of specimens are dry. Rare identified species: Osmoderma barnabita, Lucanus cervus, Cerambyx cerdo, Gnorimus octopunctatus. Access is granted from the road leading to Roades, or before it, the left side of the road leads to the site as well. • The Puntile de Piaträ Pasture > Locality of reference — Saschiz, MS. Coordinates in a central point: 46°12.369 and 024° 56. 368. On a high plateau there can be found numerous secular and young oaks. The moderate attackers of secular oaks are Cerambyx cerdo. The Lucanus cervus larvae were identified, as well as Osmoderma barnabita. As of now, there are no great threats and the presence of young oaks will take the place of the secular ones. Acccess is possible from Vanätori, on a road down south. • The beech forests on the Pietris Hill Locality of reference — Archita, MS. The beeches are massive and have been recently cut. The forest is situated on the Taghirt Hill. The dried beeches represent an excellent habitat for Rosalia alpina and other mountain New faunal data on saproxylic beetles (Insecta: Coleoptern) from the Natura 2000 site “Sighisoara-Tärnava Mare" 121
