This study presents the first record of edible larvae of Rhinostomus barbirostris on the Oenocarpus bataua palm tree in Acre, Brazil. The record was made in the native forest of the Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve (RESEX) in the municipality of Epitaciolândia. The larval record expands knowledge about the distribution of the species in the southwestern Amazonia and represents the first step toward future research focused on their bioprospecting.
