These pests directly attack and as a viral vector can decrease the production of tomato and chili pepper. <em>Menochilus sexmaculatus</em> (Fabricius) and <em>Micraspis lineata</em> (Thunberg) are predator beetles of <em>B. tabaci</em> and <em>M. persicae</em>. This study aimed to know the potential predation of <em>M. sexmaculatus </em>and <em>M. lineata</em> as a predator of <em>B. tabaci</em> and <em>M. persicae</em>. Completely randomized factorial design using 2 factors consist of type and density of prey with 3 replicates used in this study. The potency of predatory coccinellidae as predator of <em>B. tabaci</em> and <em>M. persicae</em> was evaluated in 2 observations, i.e. predation and functional response assay. Based on logistic regression analysis, both of <em>M. sexmaculatus </em>and <em>M. lineata</em> showed characteristic of type I functional, this means that the higher density of prey, the ability and predation rate of <em>M. sexmaculatus </em>and <em>M. lineata</em> were also increased. The predator <em>M. sexmaculatus </em>and <em>M. lineata</em> were more effective to control <em>M. persicae</em> than <em>B. tabaci</em>.  <em>M. sexmaculatus</em> was the effective predator to control adult of <em>M. persicae</em>.</p> ER -
