Based on the analysis of phase and amplitude geomagnetic Z comporent of 42 stations before Anqing M4.8 earthquake in East China,We find that the spatial distribution of the appearance time of the minima(the low-point time of the geomagnetic vertical component) appears anomalous features before the M4.8 earthquake;the strike of dividing line along the Tanlu fault appears NNE;The difference of laotim between the both sides of the dividing line are more than 2 hours.It has been found that most earthquakes occur in the vicinity of the boundary line of sudden change of the low-point displacement and generally within 29th day counting from the day of appearance of the anomaly.The anomalies of diurnal variation may have some connection with Anqing earthquake.
