Summary: Os cupins são insetos sociais e algumas espécies são importantes pragas agrícolas, urbanas e florestais. O objetivo do trabalho foi prospectar a fauna de cupins em quatro Sistemas Agroflorestais (SAFs) no estado do Acre. Foi realizado um caminhamento, em uma área demarcada de 0,5 ha em cada SAF, onde foram coletados cupins de diferentes castas. Foram identificadas sete espécies de cupins: Coptotermes testaceus(Linnaeus, 1758), Microcerotermes strunckii (Söerensen, 1884), Microcerotermessp., Inquilinitermes sp., Armitermes sp., Nasutitermes sp. e Nasutitermes corniger (Motschulsky, 1855) associados a espécies frutíferas e florestais em Sistemas Agroflorestais no Sudoeste da Amazônia brasileira, contribuindo para aumentar o conhecimento acerca da termitofauna presente no estado do Acre.
