BAC 1 LLUS AUREUS 



Insect concerned: Vanessa polychloruo ; Vanessa urticae; 

 Liparis salicis ; and Liparis auriflua . 



While studying the infectivity Of certain "bacteria for 

 various larvae, Eckstein (I89M found that he was able to 

 infect Vanessa polychlorus with Bacillus aureus and that 

 he was unable to infect Vanes sa urticae , Liparis salicis , 

 and Liparis auriflua . 



Two organisms are mentioned "by the name Bacillus aureus 

 in Bergey's Manual (5"th ed. , pp. 629 and 66l). Both were 

 described "before 189^ so it is difficult to know with 

 which of these, if either, Eckstein worked.
