In this study we present a new record of a plant-animal interaction: the mutualistic relationship between the specialist plant-ant Myrcidris epicharis Ward, 1990 (Pseudomyrmecinae) and its myrmecophyte host Myrcia madida McVaugh (Myrtaceae). We observed more than 50 individuals of M. madida occupied by M. epicharis in islands and margins of the Juruena River, in Cotriguaçu, Mato Grosso, Brazil (Meridional Amazon). We discuss a possible distribution of this symbiotic interaction throughout all the riparian forest of the Amazon River basin and its consequence to coevolution of the system. Neste estudo nós apresentamos um novo registro de uma interação planta-animal: a relação mutualística entre a formiga especialista Myrcidris epicharis Ward, 1990 (Pseudomyrmecinae) e sua mirmecófita hospedeira Myrcia madida McVaugh (Myrtaceae). Observamos mais de 50 plantas de M. madida ocupadas por M. epicharis em ilhas e margens do rio Juruena, no município de Cotriguaçu, Estado de Mato Grosso, Brasil (Amazônia Meridional). Discutimos a possível distribuição dessa interação simbiótica através de florestas ripária da bacia do Rio Amazonas e suas conseqüências para a coevolução do sistema
