Popis: Present study evaluates the diversity and abundance of aquatic Coleoptera and Hemiptera, and relate these with the physicochemical parameters of water in the two selected ponds of Mansa district, Punjab. Collections made during December, 2017 to November, 2018 revealed 16 species of aquatic Coleoptera and Hemiptera. Maximum fauna was observed during summer followed by post-monsoon, monsoon and winter seasons. Physicochemical water parameters viz., temperature, pH, free carbon dioxide, dissolved oxygen, nitrate and phosphates were correlated with the diversity attributes.
