The objectives of this research were to determine the diversity and relative abundance of arthropod soil fauna in sweet potato and potato crops in La Molina, Lima, Peru; in turn, the relative variation of soil arthropods between sweet potato and potato crops; and the relative abundance of soil arthropods common between these two crops. The evaluations was in the agricultural area of the Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina, Lots “Pancal“ (sweet potato) and “Campos Libres 2“ (potato), the specimens were examined at the Klaus Raven Büller Entomology Museum Laboratories. The sweet potato field was evaluated from 03th Feb, 2017 to 11th Aug, 2017; the potato field from 10th Jul, 2017 to 09th Oct, 2017. Six pit fall traps were placed in each crop to be evaluated at weekly intervals. The morphospecies of the soil were extracted and separated from the collected samples, and they were idetified counted and properly registered. The identified morphospecies were deposited in the collection of the Entomology Museum. The Collembola, Insecta, Malacostraca, Arachnida and Chilopoda Classes of the Phyllum Arthropoda were recorded in both crops. In the sweet potato crop, the Collembola Class, Family Entomobryidae was the dominant followed by Gryllus spp. Family Gryllidae; Malacostraca, Family Porcellionidae Porcellio laevis; Arachnida, Family Theridiidae, Theridion volubile of the Order Aranea; and Chilopoda, the Order Lithobiomorpha. In the potato crop, the Collembola Class, the Entomobryidae Family dominated in numbers to the Insecta, Solenopsis spp. (Family Formicidae) of the Order Hymenoptera; Malacostraca, Porcellio laevis (Family Porcellionidae); Arachnida, Order Oribatida of the Acari Subclass; and Chilopoda, represented by Lithobiomorpha and Geophilomorpha. In total 80 morphospecies were recorded in sweet potato and 62 in potato fields.
