  abstract = {{C}ogongrass, {I}mperata cylindrica ({L}.) {P}alisot de {B}eauvois ({C}yperales: {P}oaceae), is a serious invasive weed in the southeastern {USA}. {S}urveys for potential biological control agents of cogongrass were conducted in {A}sia and {E}ast {A}frica from 2013 to 2016. {S}everal insect herbivores were found that may have restricted host ranges based on field collection data and life histories. {S}temborers in the genus {A}crapex ({L}epidoptera: {N}octuidae) were collected from cogongrass in {T}anzania, {U}ganda, and {J}apan. {I}n the {P}hilippines, larvae of {E}mmalocera sp. ({L}epidoptera: {P}yralidae) and {C}hilo sp. ({L}epidoptera: {C}rambidae) were found boring in cogongrass. {C}ecidomyiid midges were found in both {J}apan and {I}ndonesia. {A} {J}apanese midge identified as a {C}ontarinia sp. ({D}iptera: {C}ecidomyiidae) caused deformation of the stem, whereas the {I}ndonesian midge {O}rseolia javanica {K}ieffer & van {L}eeuwen-{R}eijinvaan ({D}iptera: {C}ecidomyiidae) induced the formation of a basal stem gall. {P}revious research suggested that the host range of {O}. javanica was restricted to cogongrass.},
