Abstract:

The present paper is an attempt to report vespidae fauna of northern Pakistan recorded during 2010-2011 by conducting thorough field surveys in areas under administrative boundaries of Gilgit-Baltistan. As a whole 14 species in eight genera belonging to three sub-families of family Vespidae i.E. Eumeninae, Polistinae and Vespinae were recorded. Among recorded fauna, five species under two genera were recorded for subfamily Polistinae. However subfamily Vespinae was represented by four species in two genera while five species in four genera falls under subfamily Eumeninae. Explored fauna includes one species (Delta viatrix) as new record for Pakistan while seven species were reported first time from Gilgit-Baltistan.
