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).
