1. Introduction

The super family Pentatomoidea is one of the largest super families of suborder Heteroptera. Members of the Pentatomoidea, are ovoid robust and moderate to large size . This group includes phytophagous species having piercing and sucking type of mouthparts. They suck sap from plants, thus lower their vitality [1]. Some bugs also transmit viral, bacterial and fungal diseases to economic important plants [1]. However, members of the subfamily

Asopinae are predators and feed on other insects especially lepidopterous larvae and act as [2] biological control agent on agriculture point of view . Super Family Pentatomoidae is represented by 26 families, 1497 genera and 6432 species around the world [3]. The stink bugs fauna of many countries has been presented by various authors such as Distant (1902, 1908, 1918) [4-6], Freeman (1940) [7], Schaefer (1968) [8], [9] [10] [11] [12-13] Mcpherson (1979) , Zhang and Lin (1982) , Panizzi (1997) , Azim (2000, 2002) , [14] [15] [16] Gapon and Konstantinov (2006) , Azim et al. (2008) , Mehneh et al. (2010) , Golestan et al. (2011) [17], Zhonghua et al. (2012) [18] and Candan et al. (2014) [19]. A detailed account of Pentatomoidea fauna of Pakistan has been made by Distant (1902, 1908, 1918) [4-6]. Later on brief accounts of the family were described by Ahmad and Afzal (1984) [20], Ahmad and [21] [22] [23] Kamaluddin (1988) , Siddiqui (2000) , Memon and Ahmad (2003) , Ahmad et al. [24] [25] [26] [27] (2007) , Zahid and Ahmad (2009) , Memon et al. (2011) , Shaikh (2011) and Kandhro et al. (2016) [28]. However, the Pentatomoidea bugs of many areas of Pakistan including district Swat are still unknown. Therefore, an attempt was made to explore Pentatomoidea bugs from district Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Materials and Methods Study area Swat Valley lies between 35° 0′ 0’’ °N and 72° 30′ 0’’ °E. The district covers an area of 5,337 km². The valley has altitudinal variations ranging from 600 m in the south to more than 6000

m in the northern high peaks. During summer and winter seasons temperature ranges from 16- 33 ºC, and -02-12 ºC respectively. The maximum value for rain fall observed during march is 242 mm. The main cultivated crops of the area are wheat, corn, and rice. Other than crops many varieties of fruit trees are grown in the area, which includes apple, walnut, apricot, pear, peach, cherry, plum. However, vegetables such as potatoes, peas, onions, and tomato are also [29] Correspondence cultivated . Sana Ullah Department of Zoology, Hazara Specimen Collection and Identification University, Mansehra, Pakistan Specimens were collected from 20 different localities of the district from June 2014 to

October 2016 (Figure 1). Details of the localities are provided Results in Table 1. Bugs were collected by net sweeping, hand Order: Hemiptera Linnaeus, 1758 picking and beating methods from different habitats. The Suborder: Heteroptera Latreille, 1810 specimens were killed in killing jar containing ethyl acetate. Infraorder: Pentatomorpha, Leston, Pendergrast & Theses specimen were than pinned, labeled and preserved. Southwood, 1954 The bugs were identified using Fauna of British India by Superfamily: Pentatomoidea Reuter, 1910 Distant [4-6] and other available literature [12-15, 23]. Different Family: Pentatomidae Leach, 1815 taxonomic characters were studied using litz stereo Subfamily Asopinae Amyot and Serville, 1843 microscope model (782464), made in Germany. Identified bugs were confirmed with the help of museum specimens Andrallus Bergroth, 1906 available at Natural History Museum of Zoology department, Andrallus spinidens (Fabricius 1787) University of Karachi (NHM), National Insect Museum, (NIM) National Agricultural Research Centre Islamabad and Material examined: Swat: Barikot: 17. vi. 2014, 2♂ 1♀, 5. bug collection housed at Pakistan Forest Institute Peshawar vii. 2014, 2♀, 25. v. 2015, 1♂ 1♀, 17. vi. 2015, 1♂, 13. vii.
