| Abstract: | Agonoscena cisti (Puton, 1882) (Psylloidea, Aphalaridae) is reported for the first time from the Maltese Islands. The species is oligophagous on pistachio plants (Pistacia L.) and is restricted to the Mediterranean area. Until now, only Agonoscena targionii (Lichtenstein, 1874) had been known from the Maltese archipelago, although the presence of A. cisti was predicted. |
