This study was carried out in aguajales in the communities of Auca Poza, Miraflores and Salvador belonging to the Mazán district, Loreto region and Maynas province, Peru, from August to December 2019. Some aspects of reproduction and production were investigated of Rhynchophorus palmarum on male stipes of Mauritia flexuosa “aguaje”. In each aguajal studied, eleven male “aguaje” stipes were thinned, ten underwent lateral sections from the apex to the base (A and B: near the apex C and D: near the base), where bait of cassava masato and one was left intact, for the control sample. The observations were rigorous, even so, no copulation of Rhynchophorus palmarum was observed during the daytime. 14 to 73 eggs / stipe were recorded, only in sections A and B. The number of reproductive pairs could not be observed, but 1 to 11 females / stipe were recorded. The maximum abundance was 281 larvae / stipe. In no control, stipe was the presence of adults, eggs or larvae recorded. Regarding the harvest time, an average of 33 minutes was recorded to extract 59 larvae, between two people. Likewise, in sixty days the larvae grow on average 5.5 cm / 11.6 g. In conclusion, Rhynchophorus palmarum has a progressive development and prefers the apical part of the aguaje stipe; it is still null to observe copulation in the natural environment. The abundance of larvae is similar in the aguajales of the different communities.
