Fourteen pselaphines are recorded from the Maltese Islands three of
which are recorded for the first time: Rybaxis longicornis, Tychus jacquelinii, and
T. pici. Tychus pici, a North African species that is so far known only from Algeria
and Tunisia, is here recorded for the first time for the European territory. Locality
and collecting data that were lacking for three other species recorded from Malta
in the recently published catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera, is also provided. The
record of Euplectus brunneus is incorrect and most likely should refer to E. corsicus.
An illustrated dichotomous key is included to facilitate identification of Maltese
pselaphines.peer-reviewe
