Abstract:

The current findings on stink bugs were placed together from diferent sites of the Khairpur district. Moreover, investigation and recognition are conceded at the Insect Systematic Postgraduate Laboratory, Department of Zoology, Shah Abdul Latif University Khairpur. Specimens were gathered by traditional hand net and on the light trap from diferent sites and are killed in a jar having potassium cyanide and mounted via entomological pins. Samples are recognized up to the species level through the support of keys available for the region in diferent publications. Photographs of the adult and genitalia were taken with cameras iftted on the microscope. This revealed the occurrence of 46 specimens and identified 05 species under the subfamily Asopinae. Z. caeruleas (Linnaeus 1758) predatory stink bug is premalinary described from the district Khairpur Sindh province of Pakistan. Photographs of the adult as well as male and female aedeagus, conflicting on the biodiversity table are provided.
