Abstract
A faunistic study on the terrestrial insects of Unmunsan(located in the boundary between Unmun-myeon Chongdo-gun Gyoungbuk and Sannae-myeon Milyang-si Gyoungnam, Korea) was carried out during November, 2007 to October, 2008. It was found that terrestrial insects distributed in nature sabbatical area of Unmunsan, were composed of 14 orders, 151 families, 610 genera, 756 species. In this study, it shows the dominances of taxa from site U1 to U4, in order of the following: Lepidoptera, Coleoptera and Hymenoptera. Lepidoptera with 252 species and 33.3% show the highest dominance and Coleoptera follows the former with 182 species and 24.1% in dominance. The rare Luciola lateralis Motschulsky and Spindasis takanonis (Matsumura) which is designated as the endangered species level II by the Ministry of Environment inhabit in Unmunsan.
