  abstract = {{S}urveys to investigate the distribution and abundance of stem borers in natural habitats were conducted in {F}ebruary 2006 and {J}anuary-{F}ebruary 2007. {T}he surveys included eastern, northern and central parts of {S}outh {A}frica as well as three localities in {L}esotho. {D}uring the surveys, {E}ldana saccharina {W}alker was recovered from three new localities in inland {S}outh {A}frica and two new indigenous hosts, {P}hragmites australis {C}av. and {P}anicum maximum {J}acq. from {B}oskop in the {N}orth-{W}est {P}rovince and {O}ribi {G}orge in {K}wa{Z}ulu-{N}atal respectively. {P}opulations of {E}. saccharina in different parts of {A}frica are known for their differences in larval feeding behaviours, host plant choice and natural enemies. {I}t is important to understand the origin of the newly recovered population for prevention of incursion and efficient management in case it invades crops. {M}olecular analysis indicated that the populations recovered in these new locations and from the new host plants are part of the southern {A}frican population of {E}. saccharina. {W}ith change in climate, and disturbance in wetlands the insect is expected in the future to be more abundant and problematic in inland areas of southern {A}frica.},
