Spodoptera ochrea (Hampson) was recently reared on a new host, asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.), in Peru. Other host plants include cotton, tobacco, and potatoes in Peru. Distribution is restricted to the dry west coast of southern Ecuador and Peru. The female genitalia is illustrated and described for the first time. Additional records of asparagus feeding Spodoptera are discussed.
