Arthropod species diversity plays an important role in maintaining the balance of agricultural ecosystems. This study aims to determine the diversity of arthropod species in cayenne pepper plants that are intercropped with oil palm plants. This observation was conducted at the Palm Oil Research Garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University. The results showed that in the cayenne pepper plot intercropped with oil palm 24 arthropod species belonging to 8 orders and 15 families were found. In the wild plant plot 31 arthropod species belonging to 8 orders and 24 families were found. The arthropod species found in the intercropped cayenne pepper plot included 10 phytophagous, 14 entomophagous, 0 pollinators, and 2 spiders. The arthropod species found in wild plants included 13 phytophagous, 17 entomophagous, 2 pollinators, and 3 spiders. The species diversity index value for the cayenne pepper intercropping plot was moderate at 1.15 and that for the wild plant plot was moderate at 1.97. The species dominance index value was low for the cream cayenne pepper intercropping plot with a value of 0.25 and for the wild plant plot with a value of 0.59. The species evennes index value was also low in the cayenne pepper intercropping plot with a value of 0.30 and in the wild plant plot with a value of 0.52. The cayenne pepper plants intercropped with oil palm have not yet shown optimal results.
