Worldwide. Remarks. Stirellus is the largest genus of Stenometopiini , distributed worldwide. The species included in this genus are very heterogeneous in external morphology and have been placed in various genera at one time or another. Previous studies of the fauna of Pakistan by Khatri & Webb (2010) , Naveed et al . (2020) and Shah et al . (2020a , 2020b ) documented 12 species. The present study adds 1 more to make a total of 13 species known from Pakistan . Checklist to species of Stirellus Osborn & Ball from Pakistan Stirellus capitatus ( Distant, 1918 ) Distribution.
