综述了本世纪50年代以来西藏昆虫考察、种类记述、区系演化、垂直分布、适应进化等方面的研究进展。并进一步阐述了对西藏动物区系的一种新意见，认为青藏高原区应成为单独的动物地理区，与古北区、东洋区等动物地区并列。

This paper summarized the advances and progresses in the investigation, classification, evolution of fauna, vertical distribution and evolution of adaptation of insect in Tibet, since 50s in this century.
