Mifsud, David, Farrugia, Lucia & Shaw, Mark R., 2019, Braconid and ichneumonid (Hymenoptera) parasitoid wasps of Lepidoptera from the Maltese Islands, Zootaxa 4567 (1), pp. 47-60 : 58

Clinocentrus excubitor (Haliday, 1836)

Material examined: MALTA, Fawwara, limits of Għajn Tuffieħa, 29. iii.2006, 1 ♀, emerged from larva of Avaria hyerana (Milliére) ( Lepidoptera : Tortricidae ), MZ, NMS [parasitoid identified by Mark Shaw but this is probably a species aggregate; host identified by Michael Zerafa].

Notes: New record for the Maltese Islands. This koinobiont endoparasitoid was previously reported as C. exsertor (Nees) from Malta by Papp (2015), but re-examination of the material proved that to be a misidentification and it should be referred to C. excubitor .
