The aim of this study was to determine the arthropods associated with the flowers of the cherimoya crop (Annona cherimola), located in the district of Callahuanca in the province of Huarochirí in Lima, Peru. Collections were made directly from the flowers during anthesis, from January 04 to February 22, 2020. Randomly selected 40 trees, of which five were evaluated weekly, covering a total period of eight weeks of evaluation. To perform this procedure, collection points were established in the northern and southern hemispheres of each tree. The upper and lower strata were considered, as well as the internal and external location of the flowers in the canopy of the trees. In addition, the female and male phases of the crop flowers were taken into account. Subsequently, the collected specimens were processed at the Klaus Raven Büller Entomology Museum at the Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina, where the taxonomic classification of each morphotype was carried out using taxonomic keys, with the additional support of specialists to ensure accuracy in the identification process. Arthropods of the classes Arachnida, Collembola and Insecta were recorded, the latter being the most predominant with 20 morphospecies and 240 individuals. The most numerous species was Neohydatothrips burungae, belonging to the family Thripidae, with a total of 155 individuals. In second rank was Entomobrya sp. of the Entomobryidae family, with 53 individuals, followed by Rhinacloa sp. of the Miridae family, with 33 individuals. These results contribute to the knowledge of the diversity of arthropods present in cherimoya flowers, highlighting the importance of entomological research to manage biodiversity in this study area.
