  abstract = {{E}xotic invasive insect herbivores have the potential to interfere with existing herbivore-natural enemy interactions in new environments. {F}all armyworm ({FAW}), {S}podoptera frugiperda {J}.{E}. {S}mith ({L}epidoptera: {N}octuidae), is a new invasive pest in maize fields in {A}frica. {U}nderstanding the acceptability and suitability of {FAW} to existing maize stemborer-parasitoid interactions is the first step in elucidating the impact that this exotic insect pest can have on the existing natural enemies used in biological control of maize stemborers in {K}enya. {T}he most commonly used larval parasitoids for biological control programs against maize stemborer communities in {E}ast {A}frica are {C}otesia flavipes {C}ameron ({H}ymenoptera: {B}raconidae) and two populations of the native {C}otesia sesamiae ({C}s-{I}nland and {C}s-{C}oast) {C}ameron ({H}ymenoptera: {B}raconidae). {A}ll these parasitoid species attacked {FAW} larvae but none yielded offspring, although they induced high non-reproductive host mortality when compared to natural mortality. {F}urthermore, the parasitoids that inserted their ovipositor into {FAW} larvae exhibited no significant preference between {FAW} larvae and their respective stemborer hosts under dual-choice bioassays. {I}n olfactometer bioassays, the parasitoids were more attracted to plants infested by {FAW} than uninfested plants and even showed a marked preference for the odours of plants infested by {FAW} over those of plants infested by their natural host counterparts. {T}his study illustrates that exotic pests, such as {FAW}, can impact existing stemborer-parasitoid interactions associated with maize, even if they cannot be used as hosts by parasitoids associated with these stemborers. {A}lthough additional studies are needed, {FAW} might therefore have a negative impact on stemborer biological control existing before its invasion.},
