We report the occurrence of Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) attacking Pará nuts stored in the southeast of Para state. The coffee berry borer successfully colonized and reproduced using Pará nuts as a food source. Based on this observation, the Pará nuts can be used as an alternative food source in rearing the coffee berry borer. Also, attention should be brought to need of proper storage of these nuts to avoid infestation by this pest.
我们报告了咖啡果小蠹（Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari)）侵害帕拉州东南部储存的帕拉坚果的情况。咖啡果小蠹成功地以帕拉坚果为食物来源进行定殖和繁殖。基于这一观察结果，帕拉坚果可作为饲养咖啡果小蠹的替代食物来源。此外，应注意妥善储存这些坚果，以避免受到这种害虫的侵害。
