| Abstract: | The occurrence of the parasitoid wasp Pristaulacus galitae (Gribodo, 1879) in Malta is reported for the first time based on a female from Buskett Garden reared from wood of Pistacia lentiscus L. together with five potential hosts: the xylophagous beetles Trichoferus fasciculatus fasciculatus (Faldermann, 1837), Niphona picticornis Mulsant, 1839, Penichroa fasciata (Stephens, 1831) (Cerambycidae), Anthaxia (Haplanthaxia) scylla Levey, 1985 (Buprestidae), and Opilo domesticus (Sturm, 1837) (Cleridae). This is the first species of the evaniomorphan family Aulacidae recorded in the Maltese Islands. |
