The soybean pod borer, Etiella zinckenella (Treitschke) (Lep.: Pyralidae) is a key pest of pods and seeds of soybean (Marwoto & Saleh, 2003). This species is polyphagous attacking many cultivated crops such as medics, clovers, lucerne, field peas (especially blue boilers), vetch, lentils and soybeans (Hopkins, 2003). It is widely distributed in Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, Central and South America and Australia (Naito, 1960). This species causes up to 40% crop losses in the Lorestan province, Iran, and adjacent regions (Parvin, 1981).
