Bungarus fasciatus' ,(Banded Krait), range doesn't include Pakistan. This particular Bungarus species' range includes Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia (Java, Kalimantan, Sumatra), Laos, Macao, Malaysia, Myanmar (formerly Burma), Nepal, China (y compris / including Hainan et / and Hong Kong, Singapour, Sultanat du Brunei, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Bungarus caeruleus, (The Common Indian Krait), and Bungarus sindanus, (Sind Krait) do occur within Pakistan and several neighboring countries.

Bungarus sindanus' crossbands are narrow white or greyish in coloration. Bungarus sindanus,(Sind Krait/Blue Krait, also the latter a common name for the Malayan Krait, Bungarus Candidus) was formerly a subspecies of B. caeruleus.

B.caeruleus' banding is quite similar to that of B. sindanus.
