ABSTRACT

Benthic macroinvertebrate fauna was studied in the Mt. Gwanggyo in Gyeonggi-do, Korea, in September 2008. A total of 75 species of benthic macroinvertebrates belonging to 47 families, 14 orders, 7 classes, and 4 phyla were collected including 66 aquatic insect species (88%): Ephemeroptera (18 spp., 24.0%), Trichoptera (18 spp., 24.0%), Diptera (11 spp., 14.7%), Plecoptera (6 spp., 8.0%), Odonata (5 spp., 6.7%), Coleoptera (4 spp., 5.3%), Hemiptera (3 spp., 4.0%), Megaloptera (1 spp., 1.3%), and Non-insecta (9 spp., 12%) were identified. The average values of dominant index (DI), species diversity index (H´), evenness index (J´), and species richness index (RI) were 0.51, 2.07, 0.62, and 4.02, respectively.
