Eldana is a genus of moths of the family Pyralidae containing only one species, the African sugar-cane borer (Eldana saccharina), which is commonly found in Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Mozambique, Sierra Leone and South Africa. Adults have pale brown forewings with two small spots in the centre and light brown hindwings, and they have a wingspan of 35mm. This species is particularly relevant to humans because the larvae are a pest of the Saccharum species as well as several grain crops such as sorghum and maize. Other recorded host plants are cassava, rice and Cyperus species. When attacking these crops, E. saccharina bores into the stems of their host plant, causing severe damage to the crop. This behavior is the origin of the E. saccharrina's common name, the African sugar-cane borer. The

  • Eldana saccharina (foreur africain de la canne à sucre) est une espèce d'insectes lépidoptères de la famille des Pyralidae, d'origine africaine. C'est l'unique espèce du genre Eldana. Cet insecte phytophage attaque diverses espèces de plantes des familles des Poaceae, Cyperaceae et Typhaceae. C'est un ravageur des cultures de canne à sucre et de certaines céréales (maïs, sorgho, riz). Les dégâts sont dus aux larves qui creusent des galeries dans les tiges des plantes. (fr)
