Abstract

The stem borer, Chilo aleniellus (Strand) (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) is recorded for the first time as a pest of maize in the western part of the forest area of Côte d'lvoire. Descriptions are given of the larva (including chaetotaxy), the pupa, and adult genitalia. The geographical distribution of this species is presented, and its importance as a pest in Côte d'Ivoire is discussed.
