Clinocentrus excubitor
(Haliday, 1836)
Material examined:
MALTA
, Fawwara, limits of Għajn Tuffieħa, 29.
iii.2006,
1
♀, emerged from larva of
Avaria hyerana
(Milliére)
(
Lepidoptera
:
Tortricidae
), MZ, NMS [parasitoid identified by Mark Shaw but this is probably a species aggregate; host identified by Michael Zerafa].
Notes:
New record for the Maltese Islands. This koinobiont endoparasitoid was previously reported as
C. exsertor
(Nees)
from
Malta
by
Papp (2015)
, but re-examination of the material proved that to be a misidentification and it should be referred to
C. excubitor
.
