Abstract
O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar as espécies de besouros coletados em uma população nativa de macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd), bem como caracterizar suas atividades, para futuros estudos da interação planta x inseto. Indivíduos adultos do gorgulho dos frutos e do besouro pardo foram capturados manualmente nos frutos e nos folíolos de plantas adultas de macaúba. Os insetos foram associados com o abortamento prematuro dos frutos e com a redução da área fotossintetizante das plantas.

Lodd) native population as well as describe their activities, for further study of plant- insect interaction. Adult fruit weevils and brown beetles were collected manually in the fruits and the leaflets of adult plants of macaw palms. The insects were associated with the premature fruits abortion and with the reduction of the photosynthetic area of the plants.
