Abstract: The insect community and its diversity in mangrove forest at Yingluo Bay of Guangxi were studied in 1995~1996.The results show that there were 195 insect species in the mangrove area,dominated by Crematogaster rogenhoferi,Camponotus tokioensis and Dichocrocris chorophanta.The diversity of insect community was higher in the inside beach than in the middle and outside beaches.Tides and windstorms were the important factors that decided the community composition levels.The principal component affecting the diversity was the species evenness in the inside,middle and outside beaches.
