Many species of Lonchaeidae predominate in the complex of fruit flies (Tephritoidea) infesting more species of host fruits that the species of Tephritidae. In the southern hemisphere, very little is known about the diversity of the species of Lonchaeidae and their host relationship. This paper records the species of Lonchaeidae and their respective host plants as recovered out of a total of 1,522 samples of fruit relating to 113 plant species coming from 94 municipalities of the State of S\ão Paulo, Brazil. A total of 26,906 Lonchaeidae adults were obtained, belonging to 14 species of Neosilba McAlpine, Dasiops inedulis Steyskal, Dasiops frieseni Norrbom \& McAlpine and Lonchaea sp. Specimens of Neosilba represented 99.78 \% of the adults recovered: N. bella Strikis \& Prado, N. bifida Strikis \& Prado, N. certa (Walker), N. cornuphallus Strikis, N. dimidiata Curran, N. inesperata Strikis \& Prado, N. glaberrima (Wiedemann), N. laura Strikis, N. paramerolatus Strikis, N. parva Hennig, N. pradoi Strikis \& Lerena, N. pendula (Bezzi), N. perezi (Romero \& Ruppel) and N. zadolicha McAlpine \& Steyskal. Neosilba zadolicha is predominant, abundant and generalist species

This paper reports the record of new species of Neosilba in the State of Bahia: Neosilba bella Strikis \& Prado; Neosilba cornuphallus Strikis; Neosilba dimidiata (Curran); Neosilba ilheuense Strikis and Neosilba pseudozadolicha Strikis. Frugivorous flies were captured by McPhail traps, using a hydrolyzed protein at 5.0\%, as attractant, and also obtained of fruits samples of native and exotic plant species, which were collected in domestic orchards in the South of Bahia

Neosilba zadolicha and Neosilba bella (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) are reported for the first time in fruits of Byrsonima crassifolia (Malpighiaceae) in Brazil. They are considered occasional species on this tropical fruit.

Neosilba bella is introduced as a new species. Neosilba species are believed to be secondary invaders of fruit, so, little attention has been paid to its presence in coffee fruits. In this article we present a key to Neosilba species present in coffee fruits and describe a new species that is considered a primary invader. We hope this will help researchers working with coffee fruits to better quantify the economic importance of Neosilba species associated with coffee fruits.
