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.

The species of genus Neosilba McAlpine are known to be distributed mainly in Neotropical region, some are polyphagous and few species are known to be monophagous or oligophagous. In this paper 11 new species of genus Neosilba are described. The geographical distribution of these new species in Brazil and their associations with host fruits are presented.
