Abstract
NES1 listed the dates of the first definite records of the sorghum midge, Contarinia sorghicola (Coq.), in various African countries as Sudan (1930), Nyasaland (1950), Uganda (1951), Aden Protectorate, Gambia, Kenya and Tanganyika (1952), Nigeria (1953). He suggested that these records probably reflect the fact that only in recent years have economic entomologists in Africa been able to turn their attention from cash crops to food crops, and that the midge was well established in these territories before it was first reported..
