Abstract
As a result of examining Vespidae in the Southeast areas of Yeongwol-gun, Gangwon-do, total 1,598 individuals from 2 subfamilies, 5 genera and 21 species were collected. This showed very high species diversity accounting for 70% of total species of domestic Vespidae. VI. koreensis koreensis was 379 (23.72%) ones, showing the highest rate, followed by Pa. indica (231, 14.46%), and V. simillima simillima (205, 12.83%). As for each genus, V. simillima simillima showed the highest rate, and V. ducalis and V. dybowskii showed relatively high rate as well. As for Dolichovespula, 2 species recorded domestically all appeared, and as for Vespula, 4 species were all collected except 2 species which had no distribution records recently or are potentially distributed species. There was no specific point in Parapolybia and Polistes. On one hand, as species belonging to Dolichovespula and Vespula which mainly inhabit in the northern regions appear, it is expected that their distribution will provide the basic materials useful for predicting climate change such as northing of insects in the north region according to the climate change in the future.
