Forty-four macaw palm accessions of the active germplasm collection of the Federal University of Viçosa were collected for the evaluation of epicarp dry matter, pulp dry matter, endocarp dry matter, kernel dry matter, oil content, and oil yield. Narrow-sense individual heritability estimates were considered as of intermediate magnitude. The coefficient of repeatability and the accuracy in family selection was of high magnitude. Oil yield per plant presented the highest coefficient of individual genetic variation. Five different accessions contributed to the ten first individuals selected by the individual BLUP. The Mulamba and Mock?s rank index allowed classifying the accessions in a sequence favorable to selection.  aArecaceae  aBioenergy  aAcrocomia Aculeata  aBioenergia  aEspécie Nativa  aMacaúba  aGenetic variability  aMacaw palm  aVariabilidade genética1 aMOTOIKE, S.
