Lysitermus suecius (Hedqvist, 1957)

Material examined: MALTA, Buskett, 22. xi.2006, 1 ♀ & 1♂, emerged from larvae of Luffia lapidella (Goeze) ( Lepidoptera: Psychidae), MZ, NMS [parasitoid determined by Mark Shaw; host determined by Michael Zerafa].

Notes: New record for the Maltese Islands. From the Lepidoptera, this species has been reported to parasitize Luffia spp. in Sardinia (van Achterberg, 1991) and the above data is in accordance with this. It is almost certainly an idiobiont ectoparasitoid.
