Abstract

Euzophera villora (Felder) (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) was recorded as a stem borer of the garden egg (egg-plant), Solanum melongena L. at Ile-lfe. Two parasites, Syzeuctus sp. (Ichneumonidae) and Antrocephalus crassipes Massi (Chalcididae) emerged from field collected larvae and pupae of this borer, respectively.
