Abstract

A new species, Temelucha rea sp. n., of the ichneumon wasp subfamily Cremastinae is described from Malta. Since the last published keys to the Western Palaearctic species of Temelucha are outdated and lack several species, an updated and revised identification key is provided for the 47 known Temelucha species of the region.
