Material examined. Malta, Verdala Palace, 11.vii.–1. viii.2014, 4 ♂ and 1 ♀, Malaise trap, DM; same data but 1–15. viii.2014, 1 ♂; 15–30. viii.2014, 4 ♂ and 2 ♀; and 1–30. ix.2014, 2 ♂ and 1 ♀.

Notes. A new record for the Maltese Islands. This is an apparently rather rare circum-Mediterranean species, mainly associated with dried twigs and branches of different shrubs and herbaceous plants ( Lienhard 1998).
