  abstract = {{T}he greater sugarcane borer, {S}esamia cretica {L}ederer ({L}epidoptera: {N}octuidae) is an important pest of maize, sorghum and sugarcane in {A}frica, the {M}iddle {E}ast, and {M}editerranean {E}urope. {H}owever, the population genetics and phylogeography of this pest are unknown. {S}ome insect pests exhibit genetic differentiation congruent with their geographical location and ecological conditions. {T}o evaluate this, a molecular analysis was conducted on populations of {S}. cretica collected from {E}thiopia, {E}ritrea, {K}enya, {C}ameroon and {I}ran, using the cytochrome c oxidase subunit {I} ({COI}) region of the mitochondrial genome. {P}hylogenetic analyses based on neighbor joining tree separated the 22 specimens into two clades, the {E}thiopian and {A}fro-{A}sian. {T}he clades diverged long before the domestication of sorghum and the introduction of sugarcane in {A}frica. {A}nalysis of molecular variance ({AMOVA}) indicated significant genetic differentiation among the clades. {T}he observed genetic variation between the clades was further accompanied by restricted gene flow. {T}he results of mismatch distribution analyses were consistent with the demographic expansion of the clades.},
