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.

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 São 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 genus has a wide distribution in the Neotropical region and some of its species are considered to be fruit pests, in addition to fruit flies of the family Tephritidae. This genus is also known to have a cryptic complex of species, which makes species belonging to this genus difficult to identify. Only known from São Bento do Sapucai, São Paulo, Brazil; this locality situated over 900 meters height. This species has been reared from Eriobotryia japonica (nêspera),1 aSTRIKIS, P.C.1 aPrado, A., P. do uhttps://lonchaeidae.myspecies.info/new-species-genus-neosilba-diptera-lonchaeidae
