This study to figure out the diversity patterns and community structures of ground beetle of the Gyebang Mountain newly is incorporated into Odaesan National Park, Korea. A total of 47 species belonging to 20 genera of 12 subfamilies were identified from 483 collected ground beetles. Species richness was high in Pterostichinae (18 species, 39%), Carabinae (8 species, 18%), Harpalinae (7 species, 15%), Lebiinae (3 species, 7%), Bembidiinae and Nebriinae (2 species, 5%) and others (1 species, 2%). Twenty-three species were brachypterous and 24 species were macropterous. The dominant species was Synuchus nitidus (19.05%) and a subdominant species was Eucarabus cartereti cartereti (14.49%). Dominance, species diversity, species richness, and species evenness index were 0.56, 3.00, 3.85 and 0.70, respectively. Also, Acoptolabrus mirabilissimus ssp. 1 is discovered in the Mt. Gyebang area for the first time.
