<![CDATA[AbstrakPenelitian Keanekaragaman Coleoptera dan Araneida di ekosistem Perkebunan Kakao Rakyat Kabupaten Kolaka Timur telah dilaksanakan pada bulan Oktober 2014 – Juni 2015. Tujuannya untuk mengevaluasi kepadatan relatif dan keanekaragaman Coleoptera dan Araneida permukaan tanah. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan di empat kondisi sanitasi kebun yang berbeda, yaitu tanpa sanitasi (TS), sanitasi bersih (SB), sanitasi pohon (SP), dan sanitasi lahan/seresah (SS), dengan luas masing-masing kebun sebesar satu hektar. Penelitian bersifat deskriptif - kuantitatif, dengan metode purposive, dan pengambilan sampel melalui penangkapan langsung dengan tangan, umpan serangga, dan perangkap. Hasilnya, dari ordo Coleoptera diperoleh enam famili yaitu Scarabaeidae, Scolytidae, Staphylinidae, Nitidulidae, Hydrophilidae, Dermestidae dan dari ordo Araneida juga diperoleh enam famili yaitu Salticidae, Thomisidae, Araneidae, Lycosidae, Arachnidae, dan Oxyopidae. Kepadatan relatif tertinggi ordo Coleoptera terdapat di kebun sanitasi bersih, yaitu famili Scolytidae 34,20%, dengan indeks keragaman -0,16. Kepadatan relatif tertinggi dari ordo Araneida juga terdapat di kebun sanitasi bersih yaitu famili Lycosidae 5,20% dengan indeks keragaman -0,018. Kata kunci : Kepadatan relatif, Indeks keanekaragaman, Coleoptera, Araneida AbstractThe research diversity of Coleoptera and Araneida on the ground of Cocoa smallholder Plantation at East Kolaka was held in October 2014 - June 2015. The objective is to evaluate the relative density and diversity of Coleoptera and ground Araneida. Sampling was carried out in four different gardens sanitary conditions, i.e. without sanitation (TS), clean sanitary (SB), tree sanitary (SP), and land sanitary (SS) with each garden area of one hectare. The study was descriptive, using purposive sampling through direct capture by hand, insect baits and traps. The result, of the order coleoptera obtained six families (Scarabaeidae, Scolytidae, Staphylinidae, Nitidulidae, hydrophilidae, Dermestidae) and six families are Salticidae, Thomisidae, Araneidae, Lycosidae, Arachnidae, dan Oxyopidae of the order Araneida. In the cocoa field with clean sanitation, the highest relative density of the order coleoptera exhibited by the family Scolytidae 34.20%, with a diversity index -0.16 and the highest relative density of the order araneida exhibited by the familiy Lycosidae 5.20% with a diversity index -0.018. Keywords: Relative density, Diversity index, Coleoptera, Araneida]]>
