 Insect concerned: The cabbage "butterfly, Pieris rapae . 



Steinhaus (19^-1) isolated this "bacillus from triturated 

 specimens of the white cabbage "butterfly. It probably 

 "belongs to the aerobacillus group of the genus Bacillus 

 since the original cultures produced large amounts of gas 

 in glucose, sucrose, and maltose.

Bac i llus ag i l i s 



Insect concerned: Ephestia kiihniella . 



Mattes (1927) described Bacillus agilis as a very 

 motile, short bacillus with pointed ends, resembling 

 Bacillus lanceolatus and causing a mild form of foul"brood 

 in "bees. He found it to "be pathogenic for Ephestia 

 kiihniella under certain conditions. This is probably the 

 same "bacillus as Bacillus agilis Hauduroy (see Bergey's 

 Manual, 5th edition, p. 7^0) since "both are found in 

 foulbrood of bees.

Insect concerned: Euxoa ( Agrotis ) segetum . 



In Russia the larvae of Euxoa segetum were found to be 

 killed by a bacterial disease due to a mixed flora which 

 included this bacillus.
