Notes on some Cixiidae from Malta (Auchenorrhyncha: Fulgoromorpha)

Two species of the Cixiidae tribe Pentastirini are recorded from Malta for the first time. Reptalus panzeri (Löw, 1883) was previously only recorded as Reptalus cf. panzeri based on female specimens; the presence of this species is now confirmed based on a single male specimen. Pentastiridius leporinus (Linnaeus, 1761) is recorded from Malta for the first time. Tachycixius pilosus (Olivier, 1791) is removed from the list of Maltese Auchenorrhyncha. The identity of some Tachycixius specimens is discussed; their true identity remains unclear.
