Identification of Arthropods Diversity of White Buttercup Plower (Turnera subulata) in Research Field of Oil Plam Plants (Elaeis guineensis) at Sriwijaya University. In: Herlinda S et al. (Eds.), Prosiding Seminar Nasional Lahan Suboptimal ke-13 Tahun 2025, Palembangg 20 Oktober 2025. (pp. x–y). Palembang: Penerbit & Percetakan Universitas Sriwijaya (UNSRI).Pest attack such as those by setora nitens (fire caterpillar), bagworms, termites, Adoretus, Apogonia and wild boars often threaten oil palm (Elaeis guinensis) plantations. to mitigate these attacks, one approach is the cultivation white buttercup (Turnera subulata), which can help sustain natural enemis of these pests. This study aimed to identify the diversity of athropods visiting T.subulata flowers. The research employed the scan sampling method, involing direct observations and counts of arthropod species and individuals visiting T.subulata in the field. The study was conducted form June to October 2022 at the oil palm research plantation of Sriwijaya university, Indralaya. the findings revealed ten arthropods species visiting T.sububulata flowers; Oxyoves salticus, Acraea terpiscore, Anoplolepis gracillipes, Apis mellifera, Atractomorpha crenulate, Bothrogonia addita, Componotus sp, Creobroter gemmatus, Heterotrigona itama, and Polyrhachis dives. These ten species belong to seven families and six orders; Araneae, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Mantodea, and Orthoptera. Each arthropod species plays distinc ecological roles, functioning as pollinators, predators, or phytophagous herbivores. Among them, Componous sp. Was the most frequently observed during the study period. The species diversity indexs was categorized as low, primarily due to the dominance of single species over the others.]]>
