Two new records of rivetinidae (dictyoptera: mantodea) of Sindh, Pakistan
Keywords:
records, rivetinidae, polyneopteran, agent, sindhAbstract
Mantids are group a polyneopteran carnivorous insects. Key agent of natural and biological control many pest insects. Aim of present study to confirm occurrence of three species of family Rivetinidae first time from this region. Collected specimens of family Rivetinidae during the course of a field surveys various districts of Sindh, Pakistan in the year from 2019-2021. Rivetinula fraterna (Saussure, 1871), Microthespis evansi (Uvarov, 1931) and Deiphobe brunneri (Saussure, 1871). Further information on habitats, host plants and morphological characteristics and morphometric were observed.
