Özet
Recent study on collection and identification of Chrysomelidae Coleoptera leaf beetles belonging to the subfamily Cryptocephalinae in Sindh province of Pakistan has revealed the existence of Diapromorpha pallens (Fabricius, 1787) as a new record from Pakistan. We include a morphological difference table of 4 species (Diapromorpha dejeanii (Lacordaire, 1848), Diapromorpha pallens, Diapromorpha pinguis Lacordaire, 1848, Diapromorpha turcica Fabricius, 1801) distributed in the Palaeartic region. These four species were examined in detail in a study for the first time. The description of the species, its differences from other species and the official study are given. In addition, any study to be conducted in this region, which has not been studied much and is quite rich in terms of biodiversity, will make a great contribution to the fauna.
