The objective of this study is to identify the institutional flexibility from the incoherence between the plan used and the effective uses in the protected area (UC) National Forest (FLONA) of Bom Futuro, in Porto Velho, Rondonia, Amazon, Brazil. The methodology was based on the survey of regulatory instruments (Laws and Ordinances) that rules the UC and acquires images from Landsat-05 and Landsat-08 of years 1988, 1997, 2006 and 2014. The institutional flexibility identified in the FLONA of Bom Futuro was motivated by factors related to illegal occupation, deforestation and reduction of limits as anthropization problem result, demonstrating the absence of management and the area commitment from the use of new taxes.

A new species of nematode parasite of the subfamily Pudicinae (Heligmosomoidea: Heligmonellidae) is described from the small intestine of Proechimys simonsi (Rodentia: Echimyidae) from the locality of Nova Cintra in the municpality of Rodrigues Alves, Acre state, Brazil. The genus Pudica includes 15 species parasites of Neotropical rodents of the families Caviidae, Ctenomyidae, Dasyproctidae, Echimyidae, Erethizontidae, and Myocastoridae. Four species of this nematode were found parasitizing three different species rodents of the genus Proechimys in the Amazon biome. Pudica wandiquei n. sp. can be differentiated from all other Pudica species by the distance between the ends of rays 6 and 8 and the 1-3-1 pattern of the caudal bursa in both lobes.
