An annotated list of Cossidae of Pakistan, which includes 27 species of 18 genera from 3 subfamilies is presented. Four species (Cossus afghanistana Daniel, 1953, Semagystia cossoides (Graeser, 1892), Zeuzera nepalense Daniel, 1962, and Azygophlepspusilla (Walker, 1856)) are reported for the fauna of Pakistan for the first time.
Key words: fauna, Lepidoptera, Cossidae, Pakistan.
INTRODUCTION
Carpenter moths (Lepidoptera, Cossidae) of South Asia have been studied rather fragmentary. Sufficiently complete observations were published on the fauna of India (Arora, 1976), China (Hua et al., 1990), Lebanon (Saldaitis et al., 2007), Andaman Islands (Yakovlev, 2005), Thailand (Yakovlev, 2004a; b; c), Vietnam (Yakovlev & Witt, 2009), Afghanistan (Yakovlev et al., 2015) and Socotra Island (Borth et al., 2011). The fauna of Pakistan remains rather poorly studied. Only few species of Cossidae were described from its territory: Eremocossus foedus (Swinhoe, 1884), Aholcocerus ronkayorum Yakovlev, 2006, Cossulus griseatellus Yakovlev, 2006, Phragmataecia gurkoi Yakovlev, 2007, Vartiania sapho Yakovlev, 2007, V. beludzhi Yakovlev & Saldaitis, 2016 and Dervishiya sindhi Yakovlev & Saldaitis, 2016 (Swinhoe, 1884; Yakovlev, 2006a, 2007; Yakovlev & Saldaitis, 2016). In addition, some species were reported from Pakistan in various papers: Cossulus strioliger (Alpheraky, 1893) (Daniel, 1971), Chinocossus acronyctoi-des (Moore, 1879) and Deserticossus arenicola iranica (Austaut, 1897) (Arora, 1976), Cryptoholcocerus mongolicus (Erschoff, 1882) (Yakovlev, 2006b), Cossulus turkomanicus albus (Daniel, 1971) (Yakovlev, 2006c). Forest entomologists from Pakistan recorded Zeuzera sp. on Juglans regia (Gul & Wali-ur-Rehm-an, 1999) and Zeuzera multistrigata Moore, 1881 (Viqar et al., 2005).
MATERIAL AND METHODS
As a result of processing of the material deposited in different museums of Europe an exhaustive list of Cossidae of the fauna of Pakistan is presented. Following acronyms of the states and private collections with Lepidoptera depositaries are used in the text: AHU -collection of Armin Hauenstein (Untermünkheim. Germany); BMNH - The Natural History Museum (London, Great Britain); MNHW -Naturhistorisches Museum (Wien, Austria); MHUB - Museum für Naturkunde, Leibniz Institut für Evolution und Biodiversitatsforschung (Berlin, Germany); MSW - collection of Manfred Ströhle (Weiden, Germany); MWM - Entomological Museum of Thomas Witt (Munich, Germany); WSM - collection of Wolfgang Speidel, Munich, Germany; ZSM - Zoologische Staatssammlung München (Munich, Germany).
