Tariq Sharif, Irum Waheed, Asad Bashir, Ayesha Saleem, Maryam Aftab and Sohail Ahmed

Most species belonging to family Pentatomidae are phytophagous and some species of family Pentatomidae are only crop pests. Collection of specimen was done by hand and also by aerial net. Identification of specimen related to different vegetables, fruit and crops was done by using different taxonomic keys. Four genera were identified included, Nezara viridula 1865, Nezara antennata 1874, Halyomorpha scutelleta 1879 and Halyomorpha picus 1794. Taxonomic keys and high resolution photographs were also provided for further description.
