Abstract: We present the first comprehensive catalogue of true flies from the northernmost territories of Pakistan, including Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. In the current inventory, 64 genera and 153 species in 16 families are being documented. The total number of known species has been updated based on the availability of taxonomic literatures from Pakistan. In 2007, Insect Fauna of Azad Jammu & Kashmir was updated and it lists only 16 known species in order Diptera where as there is no such documented information so far available on the dipterous fauna of Gilgit-Baltistan. However, during the last few decades, relatively a few studies have been conducted on some major group of flies, i.e., Syrphidae, Sepsidae, Calliphoridae, and Tephritidae from Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. Among these, Syrphidae represents 53 species which is the highest number of species recorded, followed by Sepsidae and Calliphoridae with 20 and 18 species, respectively. The present diversity does not reflect the true species account in the northern areas; the important biogeographic area that exhibits a very heterogeneous fauna, not only because of the high mountains with valleys (the Hindu Kush and Karakoram ranges of the Western Himalayas) but also the junction points of the world’s two largest zoogeographical regions (the Oriental and Palaearctic). Some common families, i.e., Stratiomyidae, Asilidae, Bombyliidae, Muscidae, Conopidae, Pipinculidae, Tachinidae, and some other families which are common in high mountainous regions of northern Pakistan still need to be explored in the future studies. The complete locality data for each valid species are presented as the baseline for future studies from northern areas of Pakistan, i.e., Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.

 

Keywords: Azad Jammu & Kashmir, catalogue, distribution, diversity, fauna, Gilgit-Baltistan, Oriental, Palaearctic, southern Asia, taxonomy.

 

 

 

 

Introduction

 

Diptera is one of the largest and diverse order of class Insecta having worldwide distribution. It contains approxiametly 160,000 species, 10,000 genera, 150 families, 22–32 superfamilies, 8–10 infraorders, and three suborders (McAlpine & Wood 1989; Thompson 2008; Chapman 2009; Pape & Thompson 2013; Borkent et al. 2018; Evenhuis & Pape 2021). It represents more than 10–12% of animal species or 10% of planetary biota and 14% of the world’s known insect fauna (Lambkin et al. 2013; Thompson & Pape 2016). According to the recent estimate, there are 23,000 species of Diptera in Oriental region, 22,000 in Nearctic region, 20,000 in the Afrotropical region, 19,000 in the Europe, and Australasian region (Pape et al. 2015).

Dipterans occur in almost all terrestrial and freshwater habitats where they display a wide range of life histories and feeding habits. From parasites to predators, leaf miners and filter feeders, flies have diversified to exploit almost all organic substrates for their development (Marshall 2012; Courtney et al. 2017). True flies having economic and ecological importance have an impact on human life much greater than any other group of insects (Mayhew 2007). The dipterous fauna of Pakistan is under studied and has not been compiled previously. Previously, the fauna of Azad Jammu & Kashmir has been primarily updated with 153 species of flies.

Distribution area format

The present manuscript includes country wise and world wise distributions of true flies. In countrywide distribution Pakistan is followed by the Province/ State name or Territory, Division name and the exact locality. In worldwide distribution only country name is given. List of abbreviations for the regional distribution is as: prov. = province; stat. = state; terr. = territory; div. = division; Islamabad capi. = Islamabad.

 

Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan as a political units.

In 1947, Indian sub-continent was divided into two independent countries, Pakistan and India. At that time the Princely states of Indian sub-continent were given an option to join Pakistan or India by their own choice. The territory of Kashmir under the administrative region of Pakistan is Azad Jammu & Kashmir, and the Indian administered region is Jammu Kashmir. This work documented the flies of “Pakistani Administrated Kashmir” known as Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. Most of the work done before the partition of Indo-Pak subcontinent mentioned only Kashmir, but now it is difficult to find out exact locality either as Pakistan administrated part or Indian administrated area of Kashmir. We have tried our best to include only those species which are presented in Pakistani administrated area.

 

Physiography of Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan:

Azad Jammu & Kashmir: Azad Jammu & Kashmir lies in the east of Pakistan. It covers an area of 13,297 km². The height of area ranges 606–4545 m. It is located between mountain ranges and characterized by deep ravines, rugged, undulating terrain with valleys and patchy plains having diverse flora and fauna. Major rivers are Jhelum, Neelum, and Poonch. Azad Jammu & Kashmir is one-sixth of the size of Gilgit-Baltistan. Climate varies with the altitudes of the area. its snow-covered peaks, dense forests, winding rivers, turbulent foaming streams, wheat scented valleys and velvet green plateaus make it an attractive place with a diverse insect population (Behera 2007).

Gilgit-Baltistan: Gilgit-Baltistan is located in the northern Pakistan. It covers an area of over 72,971 km² and is highly mountainous. Gilgit-Baltistan is known for K2 (8,611 m) and is the second highest mountain on Earth, three of the world’s longest glaciers outside the Polar Regions, four famous mountain ranges (Himalaya, Karakorum, Hindukush, and Pamirs), more than 50 peaks above 7,000 m, the longest glaciers (Siachen Glacier) and attractive landscapes (Wala 1994; Virk et al. 2003). It is also the Land of Indus River which is the largest river of Pakistan and major source of agricultural strength in Pakistan (Zain 2010). Climatic conditio--ns, vegetation, and topography of Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan territory are highly suitable for dipterous fauna. This paper summarizes the current documented fauna of flies in both Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. There are great chances of getting additional taxa from the high mountains of Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.

CONCLUSION

 

An updated inventory of true flies (Insecta: Diptera) from Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan are summed up based on the available information shown in Table 1. & Table 2, respectively. It comprises of 64 genera and 153 species in 16 families. It shows that exceptionally less area of Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan are explored for dipteran fauna. Additionally, if we compare the total area of Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan, the area of Gilgit Baltistan is much larger than Azad Jammu & Kashmir. However, we analyzed the species recorded, which revealed that Azad Jammu & Kashmir has 94 species and 75 species of Diptera recorded from Gilgit Baltistan.
