A recently new endemic species from Malta:

Ophrys iricolor subsp. hospitalis (Delforge) Mifsud & Lewis
You will be safer if you label it O.fusca s.l. though, because certain groups of Ophrys are better identified in-situ due closely related species (Eg. O. lupercalis) or hybridism. Very complex subject!
