Orthosia Ochsenheimer, 1816 is a Holarctic-Oriental noctuid genus comprising more than 60 described species, with most distributed in the eastern and southeastern Palaearctic and Oriental regions. Many species have recently been described from Asia (Hreblay 1991, 1993, 1994; Yoshimoto 1993; Hreblay & Plante 1994; Hreblay & Ronkay 1998, 1999; Ronkay et al. 2010, Saldaitis et al. 2011, etc.).

Three noctuid species are found in Russia for the first time, of them two species, Bertula spacoalis (Walker, 1859) (Erebidae) and Euplexidia angusta Yoshimoto, 1987 (Noctuidae), new Primorskii krai, Orthosia aoyamensis (Matsumura, 1926) (Noctuidae) – Sakhalin Island.

Two bisexual lures have been developed using iso-amyl alcohol plus acetic acid combined with red wine extract (semisynthetic lure, SBL), or synthetic floral compounds (FLO) for trapping of noctuid moths early spring activity adults. Orthosia species were attracted by the tested semi-synthetic and indicating possible role fermenting liquids in feeding these species. Bisexual generally a lower nu...

Natural products obtained from plants constitute an alternative to chemically synthesized fungicides, whose improper use might have caused the development of resistant fungal strains. In present work, 40 20 native Argentinean plant species were tested against three citrus postharvest pathogens: Penicillium digitatum, italicum, and Geotrichum citri-aurantii. by classical solvent extraction metho...
