Pholetesor circumscriptus (Nees, 1834) View in CoL

Material examined: MALTA, Għajn Znuber, 8. iv.2009, 1 ♀, emerged from larva of Phyllonorycter trifasciella (Haworth) ( Lepidoptera : Gracillariidae ), MZ, DMC [parasitoid determined by Mark Shaw; host determined by Michael Zerafa].

Notes: New record for the Maltese Islands. This koinobiont endoparasitoid was previously reported as P. bicolor (Nees) by Papp (2015), but re-examination of that material proved that to be a misidentification. Thus P. bicolor is excluded from the Maltese braconid fauna.
