Abstract
Euphorinae is an important and rare subfamily of the family Braconidae. They parasitize pest insects and help in their natural control. The genera of Euphorinae present in the entomological collection of The University of Agriculture, Peshawar were sorted out and identified up to the genus level. Four genera are recorded for the first time from Pakistan. These genera are: Cosmophorus Ratzberg, Leiophron Nees, Marshiella Shaw and Wesmaelia Foerster. Cosmophorus and Marshiella were collected from Malam Jaba (Swat), Leiophron from Peshawar and Charsadda, and Wesmaelia from Balakot (Hazara Division). Taxonomic, biological and distributional notes are provided for the discovered genera.
