Braconids collection was made from different areas of district Chitral in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. During the course of study, a total of 350 specimens were collected and examined later on. Results revealed that 32 genera in thirteen subfamilies were occurred in district Chitral. These subfamilies were included of Alysiinae, Aphidiinae, Braconinae, Cheloninae, Doryctinae, Euphorinae, Hormiinae, Homolobinae, Macrocentrinae, Meteorinae, Microgasrtrinae, Opiinae and Rogadinae. Among all these, subfamily Aphidiinae was found the most diverse group with 9 genera. Alysiinae was recorded the second wide-ranging group having 5 different genera. Subfmaily Microgastrinae was represented by 4 genera and similarly, Braconinae by 3 genera. Two genera were recorded in Subfamily Euphorinae. Subfamilies, Cheloninae, Homolobinae, Marocentrinae, Mateorinae, Opiinae, Rogadinae and Doryctinae were represented by one genus each. The present study describes distributional notes for each subfamily and a key was constructed for the identification of all these subfamilies.
