Ostrinia maysalis P. Leraut, 2012, described from France.
Agricultural problems
The Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis, is one of the biggest pests of
maize in Asia, causing 10%-30% of yield losses in the field, and in some cases up to 80% yield loss.[7] These pests carry fungal
pathogens (such as Bipolaris maydis and Curvularia lunata) which cause diseases such as maydis leaf
blight and curvularia leaf spot in the crop.
