  abstract = {{S}urveys were completed in {E}ritrea, {E}thiopia, {K}enya, {M}adagascar, {M}ozambique, {T}anzania, {U}ganda and {Z}anzibar to assess the lepidopteran stem borer species diversity on wild host plants. {A} total of 24,674 larvae belonging to 135 species were collected from 75 species of wild host plants belonging to the {P}oaceae, {C}yperaceae and {T}yphaceae. {A}mongst them were 44 noctuid species belonging to at least nine genera, 33 crambids, 15 pyralids, 16 {P}yraloidea species not yet identified, 25 tortricids and three cossids. {T}he noctuid larvae represented 73.6% of the total number of larvae collected, with 66.3, 3.5 and 3.8% found on {P}oaceae, {C}yperaceae and {T}yphaceae, respectively. {T}he {C}rambidae, {P}yralidae, {T}ortricidae and {C}ossidae represented 19.8, 1.9, 2.5 and 0.1% of the total larvae collected, respectively, with 90.4% of the {C}rambidae and {P}yralidae collected from {P}oaceae, and 99.7% of the {T}ortricidae collected from {C}yperaceae. {T}he lepidopteran stem borer species diversity in the wild host plants was far more diverse than previously reported.},
