espanolSe documenta la primera prueba de foresia de Dendrochernes cyrneus (L. Koch, 1873) en Cerambyx cerdo Linnaeus, 1758. Tambien se presenta una revision critica de todos los informes cientificos publicados sobre la foresia relacionados con D. cyrneus. Dos de estos informes guardan relacion con la misma observacion y son el resultado de la confusion sistematica existente en la familia Cerambycidae. Ambas especies se tratan como vestigios del bosque primigenio y sus aisladas poblaciones viven en las zonas residuales dispersas de los bosques antiguos que cubrian Europa en el pasado. Aportamos nueva informacion sobre las relaciones ecologicas de D. cyrneus con escarabajos saproxilicos y analizamos las preferencias ecologicas de las dos especies y su funcion como indicadores de la calidad del ambiente. EnglishThe first evidence of phoresy of Dendrochernes cyrneus (L. Koch, 1873) on Cerambyx cerdo Linnaeus, 1758 is documented. A critical review of all known literature reports of phoresy involving D. cyrneus is also presented. Two of these reports relate to the same observation and are the result of the systematic turmoil within the family Cerambycidae. Both species are treated as primeval forest relics and their isolated populations live in the scattered remains of the ancient forests that covered Europe in the past. We provide new information about the ecological relationships of D. cyrneus with saproxylic beetles, and discuss the ecological preferences of the two species and their role as indicators of the quality of the environment.
