For proper identification and classification of these insect pests, taxonomy plays a vital role form successful management strategy. In the present study, several diagnostic characteristics were examined but typically concentration was made on genitalia for the proper identification of species. Specimens were dissected carefully and genitalia were examined under Stereo microscope. As a result,&nbsp;<em>Agrotis hirsutumus</em>&nbsp;is new to science and the first time described from Pakistan.&nbsp;<em>Agrotis</em> species which have been reported from Pakistan are also included in the key.&nbsp;</p> Agrotis: hirsutumu, Bahawalpur, Male Genitalia, Systematic Study, Pakistan Pakistan Agricultural Scientists Forum https://thejaps.org.pk/AbstractView.aspx?mid=AG-19-0155
