Material examined: MALTA, Siġġiewi, xi.2005, 1 ♀, from pupa of Vanessa atalanta (Linnaeus) ( Lepidoptera : Nymphalidae ), GD, DMC; Wied il-Għasel, 22. xi.2013, 1 ♀, from pupa of Orgyia trigotephras Boisduval ( Lepidoptera : Erebidae) which was collected on 13.xi.2013, MZ, DMC [parasitoids determined by Mark Shaw; hosts determined by Michael Zerafa].
Notes: Pimpla rufipes was recorded from the Maltese Islands by Schembri (1992) from pupae of Pieris brassicae , Pieris rapae and Papilio machaon melitensis . Mifsud (1997) recorded this species again from pupae of P. brassicae . This species is an idiobiont endoparasitoid that attacks a range of medium sized exposed or weakly cocooned Lepidoptera pupae ( Fitton et al., 1988, as P. hypochondriaca ).
