  abstract = {{T}wo mitotypes of {B}usseola fusca ({F}uller) ({L}epidoptera: {N}octuidae) named {KI} and {KII}, co-exist in {K}enya. {I}ndividuals of {KII} are more widely distributed than those of {KI}. {T}he present study assessed whether this was due to differences in their reproductive potential and/or in their resistance to the braconid {C}otesia sesamiae {C}ameron, which is the most common larval parasitoid of {B}. fusca in the region. {T}wo populations of the parasitoid, one from the coastal and one from the inland regions of {K}enya, which differ in their ability to develop in {B}. fusca, were tested. {V}irgin {KII} females started to call sooner during the night than {KI} females. {F}emale fecundity and egg viability were significantly lower for the heterogamous than the homogamous crosses. {C}otesia sesamiae from the inland produced larger progeny in {KI} than in {KII} host. {C}otesia sesamiae from the coast did not develop in either host. {D}espite their long time co-existence in the same geographical area, {KII} and {KI} conserved biological differences in terms of time of calling, fecundity, fertility and resistance against the larval parasitoid, {C}. sesamiae. {T}his might explain the wider distribution of {KII} as compared to {KI} in {K}enya.},
