The knowledge of host plants, distribution and economic importance of Lonchaeidae is scarce in Latin America. We have recovered specimens of Lonchaeidae from most fruit samples containing specimens of Tephritidae. The compilation of information is essential to determine the diversity of species and the relationship with their hosts. In addition to the list of records based on early publications, we add unpublished data of Lonchaeids recovered from plant samples collected in the Instituto Biol\ógico, S\ão Paulo, Brazil. In total, 18 species of Lonchaeidae, belonging to the genera Dasiops, Lonchaea and Neosilba were registered in S\ão Paulo, and associated with 111 host plant species and 27 botanical families. New records are listed and geographical distribution is available by specific maps.

The Lonchaeidae family comprises species that are\ considered of major economic importance due of their damage
in several crops. In sweet passion fruit (Passiflora ligularis\ Juss),\ these flies cause high infestation in flower buds and fruits, however
only a few basic studies about the species associated with\ the damage are available. Samples of flower buds and fruits
were taken and McPhail trap baits with Torula yeast were placed\ in sweet passion fruit orchards in Oxapampa (Pasco, Peru)
in 2015-2016. In addition, other hosts were collected in this\ period. We found Dasiops inedulis Steykal infesting the flower
buds, while Dasiops frieseni Norrbom \& McAlpine infesting\ sweet passion fruits. Moreover, other Lonchaeidae-hosts interactions
are related. Through Torula yeast baits, 14 species of\ lance flies were detected and high numbers of D. inedulis specimens
were captured.

A total of 224 pupae was obtained,71 adults of Lonchaeidae emerged. . The 35 male specimens recovered\  were identified as:

Neosilba pradoi Strikis \& Lerena (N = 27),

Neosilba delvechioi Strikis 2011 (N = 4),

Neosilba zadolicha McAlpine \& Steyskal (N = 2),

Neosilba bella Strikis \& Prado (N = 1), and

Neosilba bifida Strikis \& Prado (N = 1).

This is the first report of N. bifida, N. delvechioi, and N. pradoi infesting fruits of feijoa.

This is the first report of N. bella, N. bifida, and N. delvechioi\  from the state of Santa Catarina.

This study documents the species of lance flies (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) associated with fruits of feijoa (Acca sellowiana [Berg] Burret) (Myrtaceae), as well as their infestation level in an orchard located in Lages, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Neosilba bifida, N. delvechioi, and N. pradoi are reported for the first time damaging fruits of feijoa. Moreover, this is the first report of the presence of N. bella, N. bifida, and N. delvechioi from the state of Santa Catarina.
