BAC I LLUS FLAVUS 



Insect concerned: Vanessa polychlorus . 



While studying the "bacteria associated with the nun 

 moth, Lymantria monacha, Eckstein ( 189*1- ) found Bacillus 

 flavus in dead larvae of Vanessa polychlorus . Apparently 

 this is neither one of the two organisms mentioned in 

 Bergey's Manual (5th ed. , 1939, PP- 528 and 6kS) hy the 

 name Bacillus flavus as "both of these were described after 

 189^.

BAC I LLUS FLEX I L I S Dohell 



Insect concerned: The crane-fly, Tipula sp. 



In his examinations of crane-fly larvae for protozoa, 

 Mackinnon (1912) observed large numbers of "bacteria. He 

 states: "Chief among them is a large sinuous form re- 

 sembling Bacillus flexilis Dofrell . "
