Abstract
Recently collected insect fossils from 63 localities in Cretaceous strata in China comprise several thousand specimens, and permit a detailed analysis of Cretaceous insect evolution and palaeogeography in eastern Asia. The Cretaceous Mesolygeus laiyanensis and Chironomaptera gregaria are absent below 35°S. Their distribution is significant because it supports the existence of northern and southern palaeobiogeographic regions. During the Cretaceous three insect faunas of the northern region and four insect assemblages of the southern region are distinguished and different aspects of these faunas are discussed.
