It has correlation with all important fields of study like ecology, medicine, biodiversity, agriculture etc. By collecting the data regarding new species recorded from 2000 to 2017, the work of Pakistani taxonomists is negligible against taxonomy of insects as they covered only some parts of these orders like Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Orthoptera, Odonata, Diptera, Neuroptera and Phthiraptera.
