    22Nd July 2021 Hon. Dr Clayton Bartolo Minister for Tourism And

    22nd July 2021 Hon. Dr Clayton Bartolo Minister for Tourism and Consumer Protection RE: Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) Design Contest for Marsaskala As concerned citizens of Marsaskala we feel the need to write this letter to ensure that our worries about the ‘regeneration’ of our locality are taken into consideration. We feel we are being left in the dark regarding the many plans and developments in store for many parts of Marsaskala. We would not like to see these changes take place as we believe they will not benefit the residents and will not serve to attract more tourists to our village. In particular, we have strong reason to believe that the recently launched Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) Design Contest for Marsaskala was simply put in place to further certain business interests with complete disregard of the whole population at large. Almost a year ago, the mayor announced a sub-committee for the regeneration of Marsaskala. The people forming this sub-committee were chosen by the mayor himself, and for over two years, had been meeting and working on a variety of proposals for Marsaskala behind closed doors and in liaison with Infrastructure Malta and the MTA. This sub-committee was chaired by Mr Ray Abela. Other members included his cousin, Mr Eric Abela, with business interests in the Marsaskala square and surroundings, Mr Joseph Farrell, also with business interests in the Marsaskala square, Ms Angele Abela, head of a Minister’s secretariat, and the mayor himself. Angele Abela and Joseph Farrell left the sub-committee soon after its creation.

A total of 46 species of Auchenorrhyncha are reported from the Maltese Islands. They belong to the following families: Cixiidae (3 species), Delphacidae (7 species), Meenoplidae (1 species), Dictyopharidae (1 species), Tettigometridae (2 species), Issidae (2 species), Cicadidae (1 species), Aphrophoridae (2 species) and Cicadellidae (27 species). Since the Auchenorrhyncha fauna of Malta was never studied as such, 40 species reported in this work represent new records for this country and of these, Tamaricella complicata, an eastern Mediterranean species, is confirmed for the European territory. One species, Balclutha brevis is an established alien associated with the invasive Fontain Grass, Pennisetum setaceum. From a biogeographical perspective, the most interesting species are represented by Falcidius ebejeri which is endemic to Malta and Tachycixius remanei, a sub-endemic species so far known only from Italy and Malta. Three species recorded from Malta in the Fauna Europaea database were not found during the present study. KEY WORDS. Malta, Mediterranean, Planthoppers, Leafhoppers, new records. INTRODUCTION The Auchenorrhyncha is represented by a large group of plant sap feeding insects commonly referred to as leafhoppers, planthoppers, cicadas, etc. They occur in all terrestrial ecosystems where plants are present. Some species can transmit plant pathogens (viruses, bacteria and phytoplasmas) and this is often a problem if the host-plant happens to be a cultivated plant.
