First record of the genus Micromeriella Betrem, 1972 (Hymenoptera, Scoliidae) from the Maltese Islands, central Mediterranean

Here we report the first distribution record of the genus Micromeriella Betrem, 1972 (Hymenoptera, Scoliidae) from the archipelago of Malta, based on two specimens of Micromeriella aurolea (Klug, 1832) collected from the island of Gozo. Although this species is relatively well distributed in the Afr...
