개맥문동(Liriope spicata (Thunb.))이 검정주머니나방(Mahasena aurea (Butler))의 새로운 기주식물로 처음으로 확인되었기에 보고한다. 또한 본 연구를 통해 본 종의 유충과 암컷이 우리나라에서는 처음으로 채집되었다. 이들의 암컷과 수컷에 대한 외부형태적 특징을 재기재함과 동시에 수컷생식기, 성충, 애벌레, 번데기 등의 특징을 도해하여 제시하였다.

In this study, the damage on the leaves of Liriope spicata (Thunb.) Lour. by a psychid species, Mahasena aurea (Butler), is reported for the first time from Korea. Adult of both sexes and larva were redescribed with illustration of the external characteristics, including the genitalia of male, adults, larvae, pupae and all the available information.

Optimal conditions for hot water extraction of Liriope spicata tuber were investigated with changes in solvent ratio(2∼6 fold) and heating time(1∼5 hr) by response surface methodology. The content of extractable solids increased with an increased in solvent ratio, and the highest content showed at heating time of 3 hr. The content of total steroid saponin increased with a decrease in solvent ratio, and increased with an increase in heating time at increasing the solvent ratio. The content of non-reducing sugar containing oligosaccharides at a lower solvent ratio didn’t show changes depending on heating time, while that at a higher ration decreased with an increase in heating time. Optimal extraction conditions using hot water as the limited conditions of 15∼18% extractable solids, 1.5∼2.0% total steroid saponin, 6∼8% reducing sugar, 6∼7% non-reducing sugar and 13∼15 brix were 3 hrs of heating time and 4 fold of solvent ratio.
