Ctenochares bicolorus (Linnaeus, 1767) View in CoL

Material examined: MALTA, Ħaż-Żebbug, 5. xii.2015, 1 ex., emerged from pupa of Autographa gamma (Linnaeus) ( Lepidoptera : Noctuidae ), MZ, DMC [parasitoid determined by Mark Shaw; host determined by Michael Zerafa].

Notes: From Malta, Schembri (1992) recorded this endoparasitoid from pupae of Autographa gamma . Rearing records all suggest that C. bicolorus is a parasitoid of noctuids of the subfamily Plusiinae ( Fitton et al., 1983) , but it is not clear whether it is a larva-pupal koinobiont or an idiobiont attacking the pupal stage.
