The aim of this work was to evaluate the spatial and temporal distribution of males and females of R. palmarum using geostatistics as a tool. The experiment was carried out in a commercial oil palm plantation area, in the municipality of Moju (PA), Brazil. Monthly samplings were performed, from June 2013 to May 2014. The sampling of insects was carried out through bucket-type traps with pheromone and food attractant, all georeferenced. Population fluctuation, Pearson correlation and spatial analysis were performed through geostatistics. Among the abiotic factors evaluated, only relative humidity and insolation showed a significant correlation for the insect population. The spherical model was the one that presented the best fit, with ranges for males of 240 to 550 meters and females of 300 to 550 meters. The Kriging maps indicated for both sexes, a moderately pattern of aggregate infestation, located on the edges of the oil palm plantation block, mainly close to the native forest. The results indicate that the traps should be distributed on the edges of the oil palm plantations.
