The publication cited in the CABI Map (2021), Ahmed & Mahmood (1969) described Quercinirvana longicephala. This name was considered as a synonym of Sophonia longicephala in Viraktamath & Wesley (1988), and as a synonym of Nirvana orientalis, i.e. Sophonia orientalis, in Huang (1994). Sophonia longicephala appears to be currently recognized as a valid distinct species. No record confirming the presence of Sophonia orientalis in Pakistan was found (apart from articles referring to Huang, 1994), and the record is considered unreliable.
