Authors: Fenech, Natalino
Abstract: The Zitting Cisticola, Cisticola juncidis (Rafinesque, 1810) is a small insectivorous bird which started breeding in Malta some 40 years ago and is now one of the most diffused species of warblers in the Maltese Islands (Fenech, 2010). The species was listed in the check-list compiled by Nicola Ardoino in February 1893, who said it was scarce and appeared in early September (Despott, 1928). The first nest was found at is-Simar in 1973 (Sultana & Gauci, 1974) but De Lucca had published records of four birds at Salina in June 1967 (De Lucca, 1967)2012-01-01T00:00:00ZClick beetles from the Maltese Islands (Coleoptera, Elateridae)Wurst, ClausMifsud, David/library/oar/handle/123456789/5532020-06-22T10:13:03Z2012-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Click beetles from the Maltese Islands (Coleoptera, Elateridae)
Authors: Wurst, Claus; Mifsud, David
Abstract: Eleven species of click beetles are reported for the Maltese Islands. Of these, two species represent new records for this territory and include Melanotus dichrous and Conoderus posticus. The latter is an invasive species of Neotropical origin. Two species seem to be endemic to these islands and are represented by Haterumelater schembrii, so far known only from the holotype collected in 1979 and the rather common Cardiophorus belonis.2012-01-01T00:00:00ZThe sawflies of the Maltese Islands (Hymenoptera, Symphyta)Liston, Andrew D.Zerafa, Michael/library/oar/handle/123456789/5522020-05-27T12:37:07Z2012-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: The sawflies of the Maltese Islands (Hymenoptera, Symphyta)
Authors: Liston, Andrew D.; Zerafa, Michael
Abstract: Five species of Hymenoptera Symphyta are recorded from the Maltese Islands: Ametastegia glabrata, Athalia ancilla, Athalia cordata, Halidamia affinis and Pristiphora atlantica. A key and illustrations are provided to enable identification. Except for Athalia ancilla, these are first records of sawfly species from Malta. Rubus ulmifolius is confirmed as a host of Pristiphora atlantica.2012-01-01T00:00:00Z
