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).
