| Abstract: | The introduction of Paranthrene tabaniformis (Rottemburg) in· the Maltese Islands, an insect that is mainly associated with poplar trees (Populus sp.), is documented. Brief information is provided on the moth family Sesiidae with particular reference to the biology of P. tabaniformis. A brief overview of Maltese Sesiidae is included; previous records of Bembecia scopigera (Scopoli) were found to be incorrect as this material is B. albanensis tunetana (Le Cerf). |
