Laccophilus maindroni persicus Brancucci, 1983 Material studied. PAKISTAN: 47 spec., ‘ Pakistan, 8.-19.4.1993, W Balochistan, Turbat, lgt. S.

The nominotypical subspecies of Laccophilus maindroni Régimbart, 1897, is endemic to Oman. BRANCUCCI (1983) described a new subspecies from the Hormozgan province in southern Iran. The present findings in Pakistan make its occurrence in the entire Baluchistan area very likely. First record from Pakistan.
