Establishment and Evolutionary Successions of Entomofaunas in the North of ChinaHONG Youchong (Beijing Museum of Natural History, Beijing, 100050)Terrestrial strata are widely distributed in China, especially in the North of the Chinese palaeocontinent,yielding abundant fossil insects associated with other fossil biotas. Through acumulation of nationwide in-sect specimens and their systematic study for several decades it has been found that the stratigraphic rangeof these fossi1 insects is Upper Carboniferous to Miocene in northern China. In various geological periodsthere appeared various unique insects. According to the history of their appearance, development, flour-ishing and disappearance in geological ages three (Late Palaeozoic, Mesozoic, and Tertiary) evolutionary
