  abstract = {{T}he composition of essential oils from two muna, {B}olivian medicinal plants, derived form #{M}inthostachys andina$ and #{H}edomea mandonianum$, were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. {M}ajor differences were observed in their chemical composition. {P}ulegone was the major component of #{H}. mandonianum$ oil (44.6 %) and #{M}. andina$ oil (22.5 %) ; menthone and isomenthone were around 33 % of these oils. {D}ifferences were also observed in their insecticidal activity against the {C}hagas' disease vector, #{R}hodnius neglectus$ or #{T}riatoma infestans$ bugs exposed on impregnated oil filter papers. {W}hile #{M}. andina$ oil showed 30 % -50 % of mortality in both triatomine species after a period of 1 week, #{H}. mandonianum$ oil did not show any insecticidal activity. {N}evertheless, both species had insecticidal activity (33.3 % and 50 %) when oils were topically applied. {T}he significance of these results is discussed in relation to the variability of the chemical composition and their potential use in {C}hagas' disease vector control.
