Abstract
Total insects listed in 166 survey reports of Korean insect fauna for 30 years, from 1971 to 2000, are 4,393 species belonging to 301 families of 17 orders. Based on them, I examined the data of Korean fauna and present the list of Representative Insects in South Korea. A standard of representative species was decided on high frequency of appearance, 50 percent of high rank, whenever surveyed and collected in the field work. As a result, three species, Eristalis tenax(Diptera), Ammophila sabulosa(Hymenoptera) and Polistes snelleni(Hymenoptera) were the most representative species: E. tenax appeared with ratio of 96 percent and A. sabulosa, P. snelleni appeared 95 percent among Collected Chance. Also following four species were the representative species, with appearance of ratio of 90 percent: Atractomorpha lata(Orthoptera), Coccinella septempunctata(Coleoptera), Eristalis cerealis(Diptera) and Polygonia c-aureum(Lepidoptera). Although there were distributed many common species, they would not selected representative owing to the bias of researcher and collecting. Therefore, the result of this study is still highly fluid, and this trend will be apply to the list of Life Style. Additionally, the species list of Extinct Level in th Wild and Endangered or Prosperous in this period are presented here, based on some report and author
