Report of Macraspis pseudochrysis Landin, 1956 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) on açai palms (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) in floodplains in the state of Amapá, Brazil

“…The larvae of M. pseudochrysis are xylophagous. They can be found inside the trunks of decomposing trees in mangrove environments, associated in some cases with pupae and immature adults (Morón & Paucar-Cabrera 2003). Up to the present time, all reported sightings of M. pseudochrysis have taken place in floodplain or riverside areas.…”
