Last July, was discovered in the vicinity of the stream Humanejos (Parla), a new population of the endangered beetle-bee English (Neoplagionotus Marcao) , to examine several examples of its food plant, marshmallow crazy (Lavatera triloba) , which was also first discovered in the town of Madrid.

In an article published in the journal Environmental Quercus, and relatábamos the dire consequences that the construction of the Hospital "Infanta Cristina" de Parla, has resulted in this valuable river bed, to be partially deforested, the first step to develop and landscaping around its recorrido.El discovery of this beetle endemic and its food plant, the Lavatera triloba -Ibero-Mauritanian endemic "in the immediate vicinity of stream Humanejos, is a good indicator of environmental quality of this unique ecosystem of the south of Madrid, to be also an extraordinary opportunity that should not be neglected, to preserve such unique taxa. We are still in time to avoid it, as long as the indifference of the political class is not prevented.
