摘要：This paper communicates the diversity, distribution and host importance of ladybird beetles collected from District Dir Lower, Pakistan. A survey was conducted in the District Dir Lower over a period of two years. Specimens of coccinellid beetles were collected from Maidan, Jandool, Timergara and Adenzai. Identification of these beetles showed that 14 different species belonging to sub-families Coccinellinae, Chilocorinae, Scymninae and Epilachninae are present in the selected area. Out of 14 species from Dir Lower, two species Hypraspis rahatiana and Cryptogonus faizihanum were reported for the first time from Pakistan and is therefore, a new addition to Coccinellid fauna of Pakistan.
