STUDIES ON THE SOIL FAUNA OF SOUTHWESTERN CHAINA

在中日合作研究中，开展了中国土壤动物的分类调查，为进一步开展中国生态学和环境生物学研究奠定了重要基础。1995年启动了“中国亚热带土壤动物研究”（1989-1991）和“中国热带土壤动物研究”（1992-1994）项目。调查区为闽江、玉龙雪山、鸡足山、宝山和腾冲，共收集弹体虫1.2万种、蛇虫1.4万种、原孔目3500种、桡足目3800种、等足目800种，其中包括若干中国新创生种。其中包括许多新种，其中弹虫科5种，甲虫科3种，葡萄球菌科10种被命名和描述为新种并在一些科学杂志上发表。

IN THE CO-OPERATIVE STUDY OF JAPAN AND CHINA TAXONOMICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF SOIL ANIMALS IN CHINA WERE CARRIED OUT AS AN IMPORTANT BASE FOR FURTHER STUDIES IN ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL BIOLOGY OF THIS COUNTRY.THE FORMER PROJECTS "STUDIES ON SOIL FAUNA OF SUBTROPICAL CHINA" (1989-1991) AND "STUDIES ON SOIL FAUNA OF TROPICAL CHINA" (1992-1994) WERE SUCEEDED BY THE PRESENT PROJECT which WAS STARTED IN 1995. THE AREA INVESTIGATED WERE FIJIANG,YULONGXUESHAN,JIZUSHAN,BAOSHAN AND TENGCHONG AND CA.12,000 SPECIMENS OF COLLEMBOLA,14,000 SPECIEMNS OF ROIBATIDA,3,500 SPECIMENS OF PROTURA,3,800 SPECIMENS OF COFEOPTELA AND 800 SPECIMENS OF ISOPODA WERE COLLECTED,WHICH CONTAIN A NUMBER OF SPECIES NEWLY WOUND FROM CHINA.THEY ALSO CONTAIN MANY NEW SPECIES AND 5 SPECIES OF COLLEMBOLA,3 SPECIES OF CARABIDAE,10 SPECIES OF STAPHYKINIDAE WERE NAME AND DESCRIBED AS NEW AND PUBLISHED IN SOME SCUENTIFIC JOURNALS.
