Abstract
Only six species of Aeshnidae have been reported from Pakistan. Gynacanthaeshna genus of Aeshnidae family was recognized by Fraser in 1922. It is indeed a monotypic genus because of their character of pterostigmal brace vein which is slightly distal to the level of inner border of pterostigma. A new species Gynacanthaeshna sikkima (Karsch) was collected from Rawalpindi. This species is new record from Pakistan.
