연인산(경기도 가평군)의 곤충상

Occurrence of a total of 599 species of 109 families in 11 orders has been documented in Mt. Yeonin Gapyeong-gun Gyeonggi-do, based on 2016’s survey result and the previous reports of 2004 and 2014 carried by the Ministry of Environment. Though it is just empirical, the measured species diversity in this mountain area is not a low. Thus, this mountain is likely to be one of main natrual resources areas in the middle part of the Korean Peninsula. The authors suggest future precise surveys in this area that should be carried out by more number of taxonomic specialists who can cover insects taxa not treated so far. In the course of 2016’s survey, the authors found Pochazia shantungensis Chou & Lu that is one of registered alien invasive species in Korea. Domestic distribution and pest status of this species was known. However, in order to effectively control this species, additional biological information focussed on life history is highly needed.
