MATERIAL EXAMINED . — Loc. 7, 38461; Loc. 10, 38490. REMARKS So far, this species has not been recorded from the Maltese Islands though seven old records of T. hypophylla L. from Malta and Gozo ( Sommier & Caruana Gatto 1915 ) may refer here ( Frahm & Lüth 2008 ). Obviously, Targionia has not been found again since more than 100 years ago and may be in decline.
