Insect Fauna of Adjacent Areas of DMZ in Korea

Insect fauna in adjacent areas of Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in Korea was surveyed seasonally in2001∼2003. The survey area was divided into 3 regions (eastern mountain, middle inland, and western coastal sieving, beating, brushing and suction were used depending on the environmental and military conditions. Total 361 genera and 437 species of 116 families belonging to 14 orders were identified. Among these, 46 species were new to insect fauna of DMZ areas. Species richness was the highest in the eastern mountain region. Numbers of habitat-common and -specific species were 96 (22%) and 195 (47.2%), respectively. The insect species community similarity was highest (0.64) between eastern mountain region and western coastal region. Insect orders showing high species richness were Coleoptera (38.9%), Lepidoptera (19.2%), Orthoptera (9.4%), and future conservation in DMZ areas.
