The recent geological studies have showed the composite origin of Sulawesi Island. To see the faunal difference between the eastern and western parts of Sulawesi, a survey team consisting of 10 Japanese and 3 Indonesian researchers visited the island during the period from 7 to 24 October, 1999 and collected insects from various habitats of S and SE Sulawesi. The major target organisms were plant galls and the gall makers, ants, planthoppers, leafhoppers, treehoppers, aphids, butterflies, beetles, parasitic Hymenoptera and so on. The report describes an outline of the survey and summaries of tentative results.
