The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the snout moth Mally, Korycinska, Agassiz, Hall, Hodgetts & Nuss (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), for the territory of the EU. This species is not included in the EU Commission Implementing Regulation 2019/2072. This oligophagous species, which feeds on fruit and leaves of (Ethiopian eggplant) and . (eggplant), is known to occur in sub-Saharan Africa (Angola, Liberia, Senegal, Uganda). Adults oviposit on leaves and newly hatched caterpillars can bore into shoots, causing wilting and dieback, before moving into the fruit, which they tunnel. Damage may be visible only if the fruit is cut open. A single aubergine can be infested by up to 20 larvae. Mature larvae abandon the fruit to pupate in a cocoon in the soil. Adult moths fly for short distances only in darkness. Potential entry pathways for . , such as spp. plants for planting and soil/growing media are regulated and can be considered as closed. The fruit and leaves pathways remain open from countries where is known to occur. Indeed, this species was intercepted in the EU with S. eight times from January to June 2021. Should enter the EU, host availability () and climatic conditions in some limited areas of southern EU Member States could allow this species to successfully establish and spread within these areas. Economic impact in aubergine production is anticipated if establishment occurs. satisfies the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess for this species to be regarded as a potential Union quarantine pest. Because this is a recently described species, there are knowledge gaps related to the biology of this moth and its distribution. However, these gaps do not affect the conclusions of this categorisation.
欧洲食品安全局植物健康专家组对螟蛾科的Mally, Korycinska, Agassiz, Hall, Hodgetts & Nuss（鳞翅目：草螟科）进行了有害生物分类，涉及欧盟境内。该物种未被列入欧盟委员会实施条例2019/2072。这种寡食性物种以（埃塞俄比亚茄子）和（茄子）的果实和叶子为食，已知分布于撒哈拉以南非洲（安哥拉、利比里亚、塞内加尔、乌干达）。成虫在叶子上产卵，新孵化的幼虫可蛀入嫩枝，导致枯萎和枯死，然后进入果实并在其中蛀食。只有将果实切开才能看到损害。单个茄子最多可被20只幼虫侵染。成熟幼虫离开果实，在土壤中的茧中化蛹。成虫蛾仅在黑暗中短距离飞行。诸如用于种植的 spp. 植物以及土壤/生长介质等的潜在进入途径受到管制，可视为封闭。来自已知有该物种分布的国家的果实和叶子途径仍然开放。事实上，2021年1月至6月期间，该物种在欧盟被截获8次，与S. 有关。如果该物种进入欧盟，欧盟南部成员国一些有限地区的寄主可用性（）和气候条件可能使其在这些地区成功定殖和扩散。如果定殖发生，预计对茄子生产会产生经济影响。该物种符合欧洲食品安全局评估的标准，可被视为潜在的欧盟检疫性有害生物。由于这是一个最近描述的物种，关于这种蛾的生物学及其分布存在知识空白。然而，这些空白并不影响本次分类的结论。
