Abstract

This study identified Vespidae species from the subfamilies Eumeninae, Polistinae, and Vespinae in the Sibi district of Balochistan, Pakistan. A total of 9 species across 5 genera were recorded. Among them, four species belong to Eumeninae, three to Polistinae, and two to Vespinae. All species were documented for the first time from the Sibi district, with two species, Anterhynchium (Anterhynchium) abdominale abdominale and Delta campaniforme campaniforme, being reported for the first time from Balochistan province. Present study will serve as a foundation for future studies on Vespidae from Sibi and the wider Balochistan region.
