  abstract = {{L}epidopteran stem borers are important pests of maize and sorghum in {E}ast and southern {A}frica. {E}xcept for {C}hilo partellus ({S}winhoe), the other important lepidopteran pests of maize and sorghum, {B}usseola fusca ({F}uller), and {S}esamia calamistis {H}ampson, are indigenous to the {A}frican continent. {A}s some stem borers became pest, some species remained in the natural habitats where they still infest non-cereal host plants. {H}owever, understanding the diversity of stem borer species that remained in uncultivated habitats and their role in pest dynamics received little attention in research. {W}ith the current changes in the natural habitats, some of the species in these habitats may switch to become pests. {I}n addition to host switch, some of the unknown species currently restricted to natural habitats may disappear altogether. {S}everal studies have been undertaken in {T}anzania to assess stem borer species diversity. {H}owever, there are challenges in comparing diversity values among different zones due to differences in sampling protocols. {I}n this study, a standardised sampling protocol was used and the paper presents a catalogue of stem borer species and their respective hosts in five different vegetation mosaics in {T}anzania.},
