巴基斯坦北部地区，包括3个省级地区:开伯尔-普什图省Khyber Pakhtunkhwa、吉尔吉特-巴尔蒂斯坦特区Gilgit-Baltistan(曾被称为巴基斯坦北部特区the Northern Areas of Pakistan)、联邦直辖部落地区Federally Administered Tribal Areas)。这里生境类型多样，动植物种类丰富。由于种种原因，该地区的标本难以获取，其动物区系的研究也近乎停滞。本文通过较为详尽的调查，基于来自国际上多家博物馆的模式标本和定名标本，对巴基斯坦北部地区蜣螂亚科进行了系统研究，共发现了3属5种蜣螂(Digitonthophagus gazelle，Digitonthophagus bonasus，Heliocopris mida，Heliocopris bucephalus and Gymnopleurus flagellates)，编制了该地区蜣螂亚科的分类检索表，发现了1个巴基斯坦新纪录蜣螂(Heliocopris bucephalus)。本研究对于认知和了解巴基斯坦的动物区系具有一定意义。
