Description
Ascogaster sp.
Material examined: MALTA, Girgenti, 25. vii.2016, 1 ex., emerged from caper buds infested with Tephritidae and probably Tortricidae though none was reared TC, DMC [parasitoid determined to generic level by Mark Shaw; host determination not made].
Notes: This genus is here recorded for the first time from the Maltese Islands. The host would probably have been a tortricid, of which Ascogaster species are egg-larval koinobiont endoparasitoids.
