Metopides nivosus

Metopides nivosus (White, 1858) (Fig. 1) Summarizing information provided above, M. nivosus must be concluded that since the description of the species for more than 150 years, the distribution of this species in Asia is not weel studied. Only in the last nine years some fragmentary faunistic data were published. The present study provides new faunistic data of this species in Pakistan. The information was obtained by identifying the material in the Daugavpils University beetle collection (DUBC) and private collection of the second author (ZACP).
