Abstract
The ants found in Chindo Island were investigated from July to October, 1994. We were interested in the ant fauna of this island because it is one of larger islands of Korea and being well supplied with subterranean water, quite different for mother islands in this respect. Collections were examined from 11 sites of Chindo Is. , of which 21 species of 15 genera under 4 subfamilies are classified and reported.
진도는 해남에서 약 40km 정도 떨어져 있는 상당히 큰 섬으로서 많은 산과 하천이 있고 내륙지역에는 주로 농경지가 많은 특유한 섬이다. 또한 이 지역은 섬이 긴 하지만 물사정이 좋아서 동식물들이 서식하기 좋은 지역이다. 저자들은 1994년 7우러부터 10월까지 진도지역의 개미류를 채집하여 동정한 결과 4아과 15속 21종이 동정되어 보고한다.
