    Volume 7 – 10 July 2013 A newsletter for the Pyraloidea fans Editorial Dear Pyraloidea fans, Welcome to this 7th edition of our news- letter. The last year has been almost as exciting for me as the preceding. I haven’t yet been in the field, and our planet’s bio- diversity continues to diminish and to be poorly managed, but scientifically speaking I have reasons to be happy. Firstly, I was able to secure funding to hire Théo Léger at our Museum for three years to do his Ph.D.; his research will focus on the phylogeny of Crambinae and Scopariinae, with Matthias Nuss as co-supervisor. Théo did his M.Sc. project with me on genus Catharylla, suc- cessfully defending last September and he tells us more about his project on page 4. Glaucocharis holanthes (Meyrick) from New Zealand. Photo by Birgit Rhode, NZAC, Landcare Research, Following the termination of my own Ph.D. Auckland. on the phylogeny of the Crambinae 21 years ago, I kept thinking about it and that I should take it up again with the new methods made (2012) ‘A molecular phylogeny for the pyra- send me any changes of address for the next available since, but also that it was too big loid moths (Lepidoptera: Pyraloidea) and its issue and don’t be shy if you want to take an undertaking given the limited research implications for higher-level classification’. over for the 2014 issue. Finally, don’t hesi- time I have. So with Théo on board, I feel More on the conclusions of this project is tate to disseminate PP widely! that finally some answers to my questions available on page 2.

(Wormwood) is an important perennial shrubby plant that belongs to the family Asteraceae. It is used as herbal medicine in Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Unani and Siddha. It has a great importance as a folk medicine in ancient history from the time of Greek.

Flowering occurs in midsummer, pale yellow, tubular flowers develop in drooping heads in the axils of the leaves. A single plant can produce 50,000 seeds. Wormwood invades open and disturbed sites such as pastures, rangelands, crop land, stream banks, prairies .Within India; it has been recorded in the Himalayan region across Jammu & Kashmir. This review provides information on the history, ethno botany, Phytochemistry, medicinal uses, and pharmacological evaluation studies of Artemisia absinthium.

Many Artemisia species have a high economic value in several fields, as food plants and as antihelminthic and antimalaria in medicine. Artemisia herba-alba was known for its therapeutic and medicinal properties, it was used in both traditional and modern medicine. Several papers have been published on the chemical composition of specimens of A. herba-alba . The aim of this work is to review all available scientific literature published on A. herba-alba . The focus will be on the chemical constitutions which have been identified from this species, in addition to all of the reported biological activites of this species have been included as well as the pharmacology and toxicology. Keywords- Artemisia herba-alba; sesquiterpenes; flavonoids; essential oil; biological activities. 1. Introduction The genus Artemisia L. (family Asteraceae, tribe Anthemideae), comprises a variable number of species (from 200 to over 400, depending on the authors) found throughout the northern half of the world.

  • The Tunisian Artemisia Essential Oil for Reducing Contamination of Stored Cereals by Tribolium Castaneum
    original scientific paper ISSN 1330-9862 doi: 10.17113/ftb.56.02.18.5414 The Tunisian Artemisia Essential Oil for Reducing Contamination of Stored Cereals by Tribolium castaneum Ikbal Chaieb1,2, Amel Ben SUMMARY 2 3 Hamouda *, Wafa Tayeb , Essential oils of three species of Artemisia genus (A. absinthium L., A. campestris L. and A. Khaoula Zarrad2, Thameur herba-alba (Asso)) were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and Bouslema2 and Asma Laarif2 their potential insecticidal and repellent activities against the stored grain insect Triboli- um castaneum (Herbst) was investigated. Fumigant and repellent activity bioassays were 1 Laboratory of Plant Protection, investigated in vitro. Chemical characterisation of essential oils showed that the bicyclic University of Carthage, National monoterpenes were predominant in all Artemisia essential oils, A. absinthium essential Agricultural Research Institute of oil having the highest content of bicyclic monoterpenes, bicycloheptanes, naphthalenes Tunisia, Hédi Karray Street, TN-2049 and cycloalkenes. A. campestris had the highest content of sesquiterpenoids and acyclic Ariana, Tunis, Tunisia 2 University of Sousse, Regional monoterpenoids. A. herba-alba was characterised by the highest amounts of menthane Centre of Research on Horticulture monoterpenoids, oxanes, cumenes, oxolanes, ketones, benzenoids and monocyclic mono- and Organic Agriculture, 57, Chott terpenes. Fumigant bioassay demonstrated that the three types of oil applied separately Mariem, TN-4042 Sousse, Tunisia caused significant insect mortality. The lowest median lethal dose, LC =142.8 μL/L, was 3 Biochemistry Laboratory, Nutrition- 50 -Functional Foods and Vascular observed with A. herba-alba. In repellency test, essential oil of A. absinthium was more Health, University of Monastir, Faculty potent with more rapid action than all other species.
