This identifies insects visiting and/or pollinating the flowers of the study "African Oil Palm" Elaeis guineensis Jacq. and the "Brazilian Oil Palm" Elaeis oleifera (H.B.K.) Cortés. Insects were collected at different times of day at different locations, when the male inflorescences were at full anthesis. A total of 159 individual insects were collected including, among others, Meliponid bees: Trigona spp. (on African and Brazilian Oil Palms), Apis mellifera adansonii and Partamona sp. (on African Oil Palm). Also observed were a considerable number of insects in genus Elaeidobius (family Curculionidae) flying about the inflorescence, indicating that they also play a role in the pollination of both palm species. Beetle larvae in the family Lycidae were also noted on the plant inflorescences.
