Abstract

The genus Ostrinia is revised and the species limits, phylogeny, host relationships, geographical distribution, and the economic implications of species limitation are briefly discussed. Twenty species and 24 additional subspecies are recognized, of which 5 species and 19 additional subspecies are described as new. One new name is proposed for a homonym and a number of changes of synonymy and status are made.
