This work reports on the species of Lonchaeidae obtained from fruits of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck collected in the citrus-producing region of the state of Pará, Brazil. Three species of Lonchaeidae were found infesting C. sinensis fruits, with Neosilba glaberrima (Wiedemann) being the predominant one.
