Diverse arthropods were collected by using the beating method on cork oaks in Sardinia during heavy infestation of 2 pest insects (L. dispar L. and M. neustria L., Lepidoptera). On 30 trees .apprx. 1 650 specimens were collected: caterpillars 51.5%; beetles 26%; ants 14.3%; spiders 3.2%. A list is given followed by comments on some of the species, particularly ants.
