Material examined: MALTA, Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq, 3. v.2015, 1 ex., emerged from case of Phalacropteryx apiformis (Rossi) ( Lepidoptera : Psychidae ), TC, MSC [parasitoid determined by Martin Schwarz; host determined by Michael Zerafa].

Notes: Chirotica meridionalis represents a new record for the Maltese Islands and is almost certainly an idiobiont ectoparasitoid, known to parasitize Psychidae . It has been recorded from Phalacropterix apiformis (Rossi, 1790) and P. bruandi (Lederer, 1855) ( Yu et al., 2012; Aubert et al., 1984).
