In this work we report four new host plants of carambola fruit fly [Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock, 1994 (Diptera: Tephritidae)] in Brazil from sampling carried out in four municipalities in the state of Amapá. We also report new host record for Anastrepha bahiensis Lima, 1937 and Anastrepha striata Schiner, 1868 (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Brazil.
