AB  - The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of <I>Ziziphora clinopodioides </I>Lam<I>.</I> growing in Iran was analysed by GC and GC/MS. Twenty-six components accounting to 97.62% of the total oil were identified. The major components were pulegone (36.45%), piperitenone (19.12%), Menth-2-en-1-ol (5.31%), carvacrol (5.10%), neomenthol (4.78) and menthone (4.46%). The essential oil was tested against <I>Anopheles stephensi</I> and <I>Culex pipiens</I> larvae. The results obtained show that the essential oil could be considered as natural larvicidal agents.
