Description
Ctenochares bicolorus (Linnaeus, 1767)
Material examined: MALTA, Ħaż-Żebbug, 5. xii.2015, 1 ex., emerged from pupa of Autographa gamma (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), MZ, DMC [parasitoid determined by Mark Shaw; host determined by Michael Zerafa].
Notes: From Malta, Schembri (1992) recorded this endoparasitoid from pupae of Autographa gamma. Rearing records all suggest that C. bicolorus is a parasitoid of noctuids of the subfamily Plusiinae (Fitton et al., 1983), but it is not clear whether it is a larva-pupal koinobiont or an idiobiont attacking the pupal stage.
