Maize stem borer (Maize) - Insect Science
The maize stem borer is indigenous to sub-Saharan Africa where it is found throughout. In East and southern Africa, it occurs in mixed populations with other stem borer species such as Chilo partellus and Sesamia calamitis but is the dominant species at higher altitudes of 2000
Chilo partellus (spotted stem borer) | CABI Compendium
Chilo partellus is a pest of maize, sorghum, rice and millet. It is indigenous to Asia and was introduced into Africa in the early 1900s. It currently occurs throughout East and Southern Africa and was recently recorded in Israel and Turkey. It is invasive because of its adaptability and thermal tolerances.

Maize Stem Borer - Sorghum (Busseola fusca) - Insect Science
The maize stem borer is a chronic pest of sorghum that may cause serious damage if it is not controlled. At high elevations it is of greater importance than the chilo borer, which is the predominant borer species in low lying and subtropical areas. These two species often occur in mixed populations on sorghum on the Highveld region in South Africa.
