An extensive survey of predatory Coccinellid beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) was conducted in the Chitral District, Pakistan, over a period of 7 months (April through October, 2001). A total of 2600 specimens of Coccinellids were collected from 12 different localities having altitudes from 1219.40-2651.63 m. Twelve different species belonging to 9 genera of 3 tribes and 2 sub-families were recorded. Two sub-families, viz, Coccinellinae Latreille, 1807 and Chilocorinae Mulsant, 1846 were identified. The following 8 species belonged to family Coccinellinae Latreille 1807 and tribe Coccinellini Latreille 1807: Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus, 1758, Hippodamia (Adonia) variegata Goeze, 1777, Calvia punctata (Mulsant, 1846), Adalia bipunctata (Linnaeus, 1758),Adalia tetraspilota (Hope, 1831), Aiolocaria hexaspilota Hope 1851, Macroilleis (Halyzia) hauseri Mader, 1930,Oenopia conglobata Linnaeus, 1758. Only one species namely Halyzia tschitscherini Semenov, 1965 represented tribe Psylloborini of the sub-family Coccinellinae Latreille, 1807. Three species occurred from sub-family Chilocorinae Mulsant 1846 and tribe Chilocorini Mulsant 1846: Chilocorus rubidus Hope, 1831, Chilocorus circumdatus (Gyllenhal, 1808), Priscibrumus uropygialis (Mulsant, 1853). From the aforementioned species 6 were recorded for the first time from Pakistan: Chilocorus circumdatus, Calvia punctata, Adalia bipunctata, Macroilleis (Halyzia) hauseri, Priscibrumus uropygialis, and Oenopia conglobata.
对巴基斯坦奇特拉尔地区的捕食性瓢虫（鞘翅目：瓢虫科）进行了广泛的调查。调查时间为 7 个月（2001 年 4 月至 10 月），从 12 个不同地点采集了 2600 个瓢虫标本，这些地点的海拔从 1219.40 米到 2651.63 米不等。共记录到 9 属 3 族 2 亚科的 12 种。鉴定出 2 个亚科，即瓢虫亚科（Latreille，1807）和花萤亚科（Mulsant，1846）。以下 8 个种属于瓢虫亚科（Latreille，1807）的瓢虫科（Coccinellidae）和瓢虫族（Coccinellini Latreille，1807）：七星瓢虫（Linnaeus，1758）、多异瓢虫（Adonia）variegata Goeze，1777、加利福尼亚瓢虫（Calvia punctata）（Mulsant，1846）、两斑月瓢虫（Adalia bipunctata）（Linnaeus，1758）、四斑月瓢虫（Adalia tetraspilota）（Hope，1831）、六斑月瓢虫（Aiolocaria hexaspilota）Hope 1851， Macroilleis（Halyzia）hauseri Mader，1930，Oenopia conglobata Linnaeus，1758。只有一种，即 Tschitscherini 瓢虫（Halyzia tschitscherini Semenov，1965），代表瓢虫亚科（Latreille，1807）的 Psylloborini 族。有 3 种属于花萤亚科（Mulsant，1846）和花萤族（Chilocorini Mulsant，1846）：红缘红瓢虫（Chilocorus rubidus Hope，1831）、环斑红瓢虫（Chilocorus circumdatus）（Gyllenhal，1808）、Priscibrumus uropygialis（Mulsant，1853）。在上述物种中，有 6 种是首次在巴基斯坦记录到的：环斑红瓢虫、加利福尼亚瓢虫、两斑月瓢虫、Macroilleis（Halyzia）hauseri、Priscibrumus uropygialis 和 Oenopia conglobata。
