Resumo:
Injuries by Solenopsis saevissima F Smith in paricá (Schizolobium amazonicum) trees are described for the fi rst time in Dom Eliseu County, Pará State, Brazil. This ant damages leaves and the shaft where holes and galleries are opened up to the plant shoot. Terminal and new shoots are attacked and destroyed, harming the development of upright and uniform trunks for commercialization. Arboreal nests constructed by this ant were also observed in some plants.
