Diagnosis. Bubopsis can be characterized by the presence of long male ectoprocts (equal to the length of last four abdominal segments taken together) with long median branch directed downward (Yang et al. 2016: figs 10–13). Moreover, it differs from Deleproctophylla Lefèbvre by the hyaline, immaculate wings.

Note. In Asia, this genus is represented by five species and one subspecies (Sziráki 1998, 2000). It currently includes a single species in Pakistan, Bubopsis tancrei van der Weele, 1909, which was listed as present among the Neuropterida in the National Museums of Scotland (Whittington 2002). Until now, there is no detailed information available about the exact locality of this species in Pakistan. No new specimens were recorded in this study.
