Description

During the present study of 78 specimens were captured from the district Khairpur Sindh Pakistan. The specimens were identified into single genus Andrallus (Bergroth (1905) and single species Andrallus spinidens (Fabricius 1787) the finding of this species constructed new record for the present region, besides this description of species along with genitalia description also provided.
