Cotesia ruficrus (Haliday, 1834) View in CoL

Material examined: MALTA, Għajn Znuber, 22. ii.2006, 2 ♀♀, emerged from larva of Mythimna unipuncta (Haworth) ( Lepidoptera : Noctuidae ), MZ, DMC [parasitoid determined by Mark Shaw; host determined by Michael Zerafa].

Notes: The above material was identified and cited by Papp (2015) as C. tibialis (Curtis) but it proved to be misidentified and should be attributed to C. ruficrus , which is a gregarious koinobiont endoparasitoid with a wide range of recorded hosts of (particularly) low-feeding Noctuidae . Thus, C. tibialis is here removed from the braconid fauna of Malta.
