Description
Targionia vitis (Signoret, 1876)
Recorded by Borg (1932) as found here and there on grape vines. Vella (1991) stated that it was still not clear whether or not this species had already been introduced to Malta. Danzig (1993) and Borchsenius (1966) both listed Malta in the distribution of T. vitis, but gave no further locality or other source details.
