Abstract
An inventory of the species of Sciomyzidae that occur in the Coastal Plains of southern Brazil was conducted. Sampling resulted in 304 specimens, 278 of which were collected with nets and 26 with Malaise traps. A total of 11 species distributed in eight genera were collected. New distribution records for Protodictya iguassu Steyskal, 1950 and Thecomyia lateralis (Walker, 1858) are recorded from Rio Grande do Sul.
