(© 2008 The Netherlands Entomological Society, 2008)
Sesamia calamistis
Hampson (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is one of the indigenous stem borer pests
associated with maize (
Zea mays
L.) and sorghum [
Sorghum bicolor
(L.) Moench] (both Poaceae) in
Africa. Its pest status ...
A revision of the genus Conicofrontia Hampson (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, <br />Apameini, Sesamiina), with description of a new species: new insights from morphological, ecological and molecular data
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
The aim of this study was to review the species of Conicofrontia Hampson, a small genus of noctuid stem borers (Noctuidae, Apameini) that is distributed in East and Southeastern Africa. We review the morphology of species ...
Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Busseola segeta Bowden (Lepidoptera; Noctuidae): A case study of host use diversification in Guineo-Congolian rainforest relic area, Kenya
(2012)
Abstract: Habitat modification and fragmentation are considered as some of the factors that drive organism distribution and host use diversification. Indigenous African stem borer pests are thought to have diversified their ...
