  abstract = {{T}o develop efficient and safe biological control, we need to reliably identify natural enemy species, determine their host range, and understand the mechanisms that drive host range evolution. {W}e investigated these points in {C}otesia sesamiae, an {A}frican parasitic wasp of cereal stem borers. {P}hylogenetic analyses of 74 individual wasps, based on six mitochondrial and nuclear genes, revealed three lineages. {W}e then investigated the ecological status (host plant and host insect ranges in the field, and host insect suitability tests) and the biological status (cross-mating tests) of the three lineages. {W}e found that one highly supported lineage showed all the hallmarks of a cryptic species. {I}t is associated with one host insect, {S}esamia nonagrioides, and is reproductively isolated from the other two lineages by pre- and postmating barriers. {T}he other two lineages had a more variable phylogenetic support, depending on the set of genes; they exhibited an overlapping and diversified range of host species and are not reproductively isolated from one another. {W}e discuss the ecological conditions and mechanisms that likely generated this ongoing speciation and the relevance of this new specialist taxon in the genus {C}otesia for biological control.},
