And the methanol extract was also studied for the adulticidal activity and repellency test in red four beetles (tribolium castenium). The % mortality for adulticidal activity at different concentration (mg/ml) 1,2,3,4, 5 was recorded during the time interval 0 to 10 hour; 0%, 10%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, respectively. LD50 and LD90 were 2mg/ml and 4mg/ml respectively. Statistical analysis of data the P- value is 0.0005, considered significant.

Therefore, the current study was designed and carried out during the past decade. A list of LFPs for 207 butterfly species (Super family Papilionoidea) of Sri Lanka is presented based on local studies and includes 785 plant-butterfly combinations and 480 plant species. Many of these combinations are reported for the first time in Sri Lanka. The impact of introducing new plants on the dynamics of abundance and distribution of butterflies, the possibility of butterflies being pests on crops, and observations of LFPs of rare butterfly species, are discussed. This information is crucial for the conservation management of the butterfly fauna in Sri Lanka. Key words: conservation, crops, larval food plants (LFPs), pests, plant-butterfly combination. Introduction Butterflies go through complete metamorphosis 1949). As all herbivorous insects show some and have two stages of food consumtion.

Krishna Mohan Department of Pharmacognosy, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Chloroxylon swietenia is a moderate sized deciduous tree, belonging to the family rutaceae. Chloroxylon swietenia is the sole species in the genus Chloroxylon. Distributed in India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. In India it is distributed in Kerala, Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka. Researches on Chloroxylon swietenia gives the evidence that it contains chemical constituents like alkaloids, lignans, mono and sesquiterpenes, phenolics, coumarins, sugars and their derivatives and fatty alcohols. However, the researchers also prove that it is used as anti-oxidants, anti- fungal, anti–microbial and anti-inflammatory.

ABSTRACT The nature has provided a complete store house of remedies to use for all ailments for mankind. The knowledge on drugs has accumulated over thousands of years as a result of mans inquisitive nature. Phytomedicines or natural prescriptions, have assumed a basic part in World wellbeing for a large number of years. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), "natural medications incorporate herbs, home grown materials, home grown arrangements and completed home grown items, that contain as dynamic fixings parts of plants, or other plant materials, or blends. Chloroxylon swietenia DC. (Family: Rutaceae) is an important traditional medicinal plant used in the treatment of various ailments like fungal infection of skin, rheumatism, common cold, cough, ophthalmic infection and cataract, wounds and as an astringent. It is a tropical aromatic tree of dry deciduous forests popularly known as East Indian Satin Wood. The findings of this study will facilitate pharmacognostic standardization of the plant material and aid in the preparation of an herbal monograph for the species.

Introduction The lime swallowtail, Papilio demoleus Linnaeus, is sometimes called the chequered or citrus swallowtail. This butterfly ranges widely and is an extremely successful invader. Its proliferation appears to be aided by agricultural land use and urbanization that create new, suitable, open habitat and enhanced availability of resources.

Forty two albino rats were randomly divided into seven groups (n=6). Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (60mg/Kg). Distilled water, Tween 80, glibenclamide, Chloroxylon swietenia aqueous extract (CSAE), ethanolic extracts (CSEE) of 200 and 400mg/kg were given orally for 14 days to the normal control, diabetic control, standard group and test groups respectively. Glucose, TC (total cholesterol), TG (triglyceride), HDL (High density lipoprotein), AST (aspartate aminotransferase), ALT (alanine aminotransferase), ALP (alkaline phosphatase), creatinine, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin levels were estimated. ANOVA followed by Student- Newman-Keuls test was used to analyze the data. CSAE of 200mg/kg showed a significant reduction in glucose, ALT, TB and ALP levels in diabetic rats. CSAE of 400mg/kg showed a significant decrease in glucose, AST, ALT, TB, DB and ALP levels in diabetic rats. CSEE of 200mg/kg showed a significant decrease in glucose, ALT, TB, ALP and creatinine levels in diabetic rats.

It comes from two tropical trees of the family Rutaceae (rue family). East Indian or Ceylon satinwood is the yellowish or dark-brown heartwood of Chloroxylon swietenia. The lustrous, fine-grained, usually figured wood is used for furniture, cabinetwork, veneers, and backs of brushes. West Indian satinwood, sometimes called yellow wood, is considered superior. It is the golden yellow, lustrous, even-grained wood found in the Florida Keys and the West Indies. 1 / 3 anticSwiss 29/09/2021 14:52:20 http://www.anticswiss.com It has long been valued for furniture.
