In the present study these genera are reported for the first time from Pakistan, represented by four species:&nbsp;<em>Indadesha achterbergi&nbsp;</em>Quicke,&nbsp;<em>Aneuradesha harleyi&nbsp;</em>Quicke,&nbsp;<em>Adesha albolineata</em>&nbsp;Cameron and&nbsp;<em>Adesha acuta&nbsp;</em>Quicke collected from four host plants viz., guava (<em>Psidium guajava</em>), citrus&nbsp;<em>(Citrus reticulata</em>), sugarcane (<em>Saccharum officinarum</em>) and maize&nbsp;<em>(Zea mays</em>). Effects of ecological factors and weather conditions on the distribution of recorded taxa were also studied from Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Chakwal. The study reveals that members of the tribe Adeshini are more likely to be found from April to August and with low rainfall. An illustrated key to genera and species from Pakistan, host plants, abundance, distribution and spatio-temporal graphical representation of Adeshini related to weather parameters are also provided.</p> Taxonomy; Hymenoptera; Braconinae; new records; distribution; Pakistan Pakistan Agricultural Scientists Forum https://thejaps.org.pk/AbstractView.aspx?mid=ZLG-19-0026
