Faunistic survey of ant was carried out twice in April and July 1994 from Is. Sohuksando located in westsouthern area in Korea. Thirty-seven species were identified ut of Five hundred and thirty seven colonies collected. Among them, Camponotus nawai Ito and Smthistruma incerta Brown are found to be the first record from Korea.

To clarify the ants fauna in 10 islands, Chollanam-do, field survery was carried out from 1986 to 1991. As a result, 740 colonies were collected in 31 survey areas. These colonies were composed on 54 species belonging to the 30 genera of 4 subfamilies. Kyidris mutica Brown and Epitritus hexamerus Brown collected in Taehuksan Is. and Soan Is. respectively were recorded for the first time from Korea. The cluster analysis of faunal similarity using Nomura-Simpson's Coefficient(NSC) showed that the ant communities between the island were continuous in similarities.

For the study of ant fauna in Mt. Kyeryongsan, we selected three areas and collected 317 colonies nine times from 1986 to 1990. The communities of ants were composed of 3 subfamilies, 23 genera and 45 species. Among them, Solenopsis sp. was an unrecorded species in Korea. The number of ant species distributed in each area was almost the same, and the species distributed uniformly in the nine subareas were Paratrechina flavipes and Aphaenogaster japonica. The number of species collected in the only one subarea were ten, and six among them were collected in the area of Sinwonsa temple, the westward slope. It is remarkable that Camponotus tokioensis, which is known to be distributed only in the island and coast so far, is found to be distributed in the area of Sinwonsa temple as well.

The 21 species, 9 genera, and 2 subfamilies collected at Orimok area were added to the ant fauna list of Mt. Hallasan, among which, Camponotus amamianus Terayama is new to the fauna of Korea, and Lasius hayashi, L. umbratus, Myrmica kasczenkoi, and M. kurokii are newly added to the fauna list of Jeju Island. In addition, the catalog has been arranged by adding the formerly collected ant specimens at Mt. Hallasan.

For the studies of ant founa in Mt. Togyusan, we collected 476 colonies in 1986, 1989, and 1 1991. The communities of ants were composed of 4 subfamilies, 22 genera and 44 species. The a ants of Mt. Togyusan consisted of 21 species and 12 genera in Myrmicinae, 20 species of 6 g genera in Formicinae, 4 species of 3 genera in Ponerinae, and 1 species of 1 genera in D Dolichoderinae. The vertical distribution of the ants in Mt. Togyusan was distributed 41 species in 93% of total species at the altitude of 500 m. The upper limit line of vertical distribution was distributed of 5 species included Pacycondyla astutus and Messor aciculatus at the a altitude of 700 m, and 10 species included Ponera japonica, Leptothorax congrus, ,Lasius b brunneus, and Parairechina flaevipes at the altitude of 1000 m.

The ant fauna in Mt. Gariwangsan was composed of 39 species 24 genera 5 subfamilies. The collected ants in Mt. Gariwangsan were Subfamily Myrmicinae(16 species 11 genera), Subfamily Formicinae(15 species 5 genera), Subfamily Ponerinae(6 species 4 genera), Subfamily Amblyoponinae(1 species 1 genera), and Subfamily Dolichoderrinae(1 species 1 genera). Ant fauna by vegetation in Mt. Gariwangsan, 36 species 23 genera were collected in broadleaf tree areas in which Quercus mongolica, Fraxinus rhynchophylla, Tilia amurensis, and Cornus controversa were dominant species. Paratrechina flavipes and Myrmica kotokui were dominant species. 13 species 12 genera were collected only in broadleaf tree areas. In the coniferous tree areas where Pinus densiflora, Pinus korainensis, and Larix kaempferi were dominant, 24 species 15 genera of ants in total were collected. Pachycondyla chinensis and Paratrechina flavipes were dominant species. 4 species 3 genera were collected only in the coniferous tree areas. Paratrechina flavipes was dominant even in the areas in which Camponotus japonicas and Formica japonica had been assumed to be dominant. Specifically, the higher the land was, the rarer Ponerinae and Dolichoderinae were observed. The common species observed in both areas were 20 species 13 genera. Of these ants, Paratrechina flavipes(Subfamily Formicinae) and Myrmica kotokui(Subfamily Myrmicinae) were distinctive ants. With regard to the current state of colony of these species, Paratrechina flavipes was dominant in lowland areas. Myrmica kotokui, on the other hand, was dominant in highland areas.

To find out ant fauna in the Mt. Chiak, collection tours were taken in three courses for two years. As a result, The ant fauna of Mt. Chiak were confirmed to be 45 species belonging to 23 genera under 4 subfamilies. Among them, ten species were new to Gangweon-province and Myrmica sp. 6 was new to Korea. Ants fauna of Gangweon-province at together became 74 species under 28 genera. In Ponerinae, ants fauna have become 5 species under 4 genera, in Myrmicinae, 20 species under 13 genera, in Dolichoderinae 1 species under 1 genera and in Formicinae 19 species under 5 genera.

Vegetation rather than soil types, is the predominant factor in determining density and distribution of Dreponotermes tarnminensis (Hill) mounds within the Durokoppin Nature Reserve m Westem Austral~an wheatbelt D tomminensis mounds reach the hlghest densities m Woodland (dominated by Eucalyptus cap~llosa) and Casuarina (dominated by Allocasuarino campestris) vegetation assoc~ations. There appears to be no influence of soil type on mound dishibut~on. although higher mound densities tend to be found on the Booraan soil type.
