D i s s c u s s i o n: The above reported female is here tentatively identified as belonging to
I. pakistanica
(
WITTMER, 1986
). It might also be conspecific to a sibling species (viz.
I. afghanistanica
(
WITTMER, 1956
)) – both taxa are only seperable in the male sex.
D i s t r i b u t i o n:
Intybia
pakistanica
was described after a
type
series (
7 specimens
) originating from three localities in the Swat district of the
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province
(
WITTMER 1986
).
