Ledokombo hillocks are small hills located in Jember, East Java that have natural resources and face habitat alteration such as plantation and mining.  However, a study of the diversity of butterflies has not been carried out in this area. We analysed the diversity of butterflies using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H’) and Pielou evenness index (E).  We identified 514 individuals from 34 species and demonstrated a moderate diversity of butterflies (H'= 1.907) in this area. Our study results could be used for sustainable ecological management of plantations in Ledokombo Hillocks, Jember, East Java.
