The aim of this research were investigated species diversity of earthworm in the field of Biology UGM.. Sampling method was carried out with purposive random sampling method. Result obtained that the earthworms in the field Biology of UGM consist of three species. The Three species were Pheretima hawayana, Pheretima sp., and Eudrilus eugeniae. Data analysis was used UPGMA method by 3.1 MVSP Program and obtained that generally, similarity percentage of P. hawayana, Pheretima sp., dan E. eugeniae interspecies more than 55 %.
