Aim of this study was to examine some plants alongside tea plantation that increase the diversity and abundance of generalist predator in tea plantation at Wonosari, Malang, Indonesia. The samples of Arthropods were collected by 15 cm diameter sweeping net for five times oscilation. The Specimens were identified and counted the diversity index (Shannon-Wienner = H') and relative abundance of generalist predator. The variation of diversity index of Arthropodes in every plot were examined by ANOVA then continued with Duncan Multiple Range Test at significant level 95%.The result showed that Synedrella nodiflora, Centella asiatica, Setaria sp., Borreria repens, Arachis pentoii and combination of the plants raised the diversity of Arthropodes on the canopy of the plants, especially generalist predators. There are Curinus, Oxyopes, and Hymenopus with relative abundance ranging from 9.1% to 14.6%.
