Glypta sp.

Material examined: MALTA, Naxxar, 27. vi.2014, 1 ♂, emerged from larva of Cydia sp. feeding on Vicia faba green seeds. Larva was collected on iv.2013, MZ, NMS [parasitoid determined by Mark Shaw; host determined by Michael Zerafa].

Notes: This genus was never previously recorded from the Maltese Islands. However, it is a very large genus of koinobiont endoparasitoids of almost exclusively tortricid hosts, and undoubtedly several species will be found to occur in Malta.
