Notes: The above material was identified and cited by Papp (2015) as C. tibialis (Curtis) but it proved to be misidentified and should be attributed to C. ruficrus , which is a gregarious koinobiont endoparasitoid with a wide range of recorded hosts of (particularly) low-feeding Noctuidae . Thus, C. tibialis is here removed from the braconid fauna of Malta .
