The fauna of Cyana Walker, 1854 of Pakistan contains four species. Since the number of Cyana species known from India is 42, the fauna of this genus of Pakistan should be richer. Cyana adita (Moore, 1859) from two closely located places in the area of Madyan village and Cyana puella (Drury, 1773) from several points of Swat district were recorded by A. Koçak and M. Kemal (Koçak, Kemal 2014). Later, N. Singh with co-authors (Singh et al. 2020) reported on Cyana dohertyi (Elwes, 1890) and Cyana gelida (Walker, 1854) for the first time. This article presents the first records of Cyana guttifera (Walker, 1856) from Pakistan with a new data of locality of Cyana adita and Cyana puella in the north of the country. Updated list of the fauna of Cyana of Pakistan contains five species.
