Title: Insect pests on cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. Botrytis) in Gozo (Maltese Islands, Central Mediterranean) Authors: Farrugia, Charles Abstract: A total of twenty-two insect species were found feeding on different parts of cauliflower plants (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) at some stage of their life cycle. The species are distributed in five insect orders as follows: Coleoptera (7), Lepidoptera (6), Homoptera (6), Diptera (2) and Thysanoptera (1). After reviewing earlier literature on cauliflower pests in the Maltese Islands, the present work gives a species list, with global distribution and additional notes where appropriate. Six species are recorded for the first time from the Maltese Islands.

Title: The Thoracican Barnacles (Cirripedia : Thoracica) of the Maltese Islands and surrounding waters (Central Mediterranean) Authors: Rizzo, Miraine; Schembri, Patrick J. Abstract: Thoracican cirripedes collected from the Maltese Islands and their coastal waters were identified. Based on these collections and on a critical review of the literature, a total of 19 species belonging to four families are listed. Eight species are new records. A key to the local species, excluding the doubtful records, is given. Ecological and taxonomic notes on some of the species are also provided.

Title: Heteroceridae (Coleoptera) of the Maltese islands (Central Mediterranean) Authors: Mifsud, David; Mascagoi, Alessandro Abstract: Augyles (Littorimus) maritimus (Guerin), to date the only heterocerid beetle found in the Maltese Islands, is being recorded for the first time since 1907, when it had been recorded by Cameron & Caruana-Gatto as Heterocerus melitensis Reitter.

Title: Records of Cephalopods (Mollusca : Cephalopoda) from Maltese and surrounding waters (Central Mediterranean) Authors: Schembri, Titian; Schembri, Patrick J. Abstract: Based on an examination of several collections made in Maltese waters, 20 cephalopods are recorded of which three genera and seven species are reported for the first time from Maltese waters. The identity of some previously dubious records is clarified. ¸£ÀûÔÚÏßÃâ·Ñ is given on the material examined during the present study as well as on geographical distribution and habitat preferences of the species. Notes on the diagnostic charactcrs required for accurate identification and details of important diagnostic features arc included. All the species recorded are also known from the Strait of Sicily and other areas in the Central Mediterranean. There are very few Maltese records of pelagic species. This is partly a result of the fishing techniques used by local fishermen and partly because cephalopods are only a by-catch in Malta.
