In this study we identified the insect visitors and their interaction with the inflorescences of P. macrocarpa in two localities in northwestern Peruvian Amazonia. Additionally, the richness and abundance of these insects was determined. For this purpose, six inflorescences were collected per locality (three male and three female). During field trips, the interactions of the insects on the inflorescences were observed. A total of 28 106 insects distributed in 27 species were recorded, where Amazoncharis sp., Aleochara sp. and Anchylorhynchusapplication/pdfspainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/dimorfismo sexualdioeciaInsectainteracciónPhytelepheae.info:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttps://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#4.01.01https://doi.org/10.70186/baeeAWQQ9436Phytelephas macrocarpa; Arecaceae; Insects; Floral visitors; Pollination; Dioecy; Sexual dimorphism
