dc.description.abstractDuring a survey of larvae and pupae of the black flies of N.W.F.P., conducted from November 1992 to October Resta total of 36 species were recorded from 50 sites. The collection was made from 11 districts and one Agency i.e., Abbottabad, Bannu, Chitral, Charsadda, Dir, Kohat, Mansehra, Mardan, Peshawar, Swabi, Swat and Malakand Agency of North West Frontier Province (Pakistan). The study included Taxonomy and Ecology of preimaginal stages considering, breeding preferences, substratum preferences, physical parameters of water bodies like water temperature (10-36°C), speed (31-89 cm/sec.), transparency (20-40cm), depth (14-55cm), breeding altitude (285-2800 m), humidity (10-80%) and rainfall (4-100 mn), and chemical parameters like PH (5.7-7.5), NH;-N (.03-.089 ug/cm*), Co; (.199-.9 mn/L), HCo; (.108-.79 mm/L), Cl (0.061- 0.401 mm/L) and Ca** (1.1-3.9 mm/L) . The species recorded in this work are 1. Boophthora erythrocephala, 2. B. sericata, 3. Eusimulium aureum, 4. E. bicorn, 5. E. diriense sp.n., 6. E. fontinale, 7. £. agvilletense alizadei, 8. E. ge avilletense, 9. E. inflatum, 10. E. lepnevae, 11. E. malakandiense sp.n., 12. E. montium, 13. E. planiparun, 14. E. pygmaeum, 15. Obuchovia albella, 16. 0. chitraliense sp-n., 17. Simulium aureohirtum, 18. s. austeni, 19. s. kohatiense sp.n., 20. S. kurense, 21. S. moristan, 22. s. multistriatum, 23. S. puri sp.n., 24. S. remotum, 25. s. Swatiense sp.n., 26. S. tumolusum, 27. Ss. worsakiense SPp-n., 28. S. xanthogastrum, 29. Wilhelmia e. equina, 30. W. lineata, 31. W. mayariense sp.n., 32. W. mediterranea, 33. W. paraequina, 34. W. salopiensis, 35. W. turgaica, 36. W. veltistshevi. The type of the specimens (Holotypes) have been deposited in the department of Zoology, University of Peshawar. The larvae and pupae were collected attached to submerged vegetation like Typha, Potomogeton, Echinochloa, Hydrella and Cynodon, roots of terrestrial tree, white plastic, sticks, solid rocks, loose rocks or bolders small stone and dead leaves from different water bodies like slow muddy irrigntionai channel, swift rocky irrigational channel, slow muddy stream, swift rocky or muddy stream, sandy or muddy slow river, swift rocky larg rivers, small and large water fall, and rocky hill spring water.
