BAC I LLUS L I NEATUS 



Insects concerned: The nun moth, Lyman tria monacha ; 

 Vanessa urtlcae; Porthesia auriflua ; and Liparis saliciS o 



This organism was among those found in larvae of the 

 nun moth by Eckstein (189*0 • He also isolated this 

 organism from dead Vanessa urticae , Porthesia auriflua , 

 and Liparis salicis .

BAC I LLUS L 1 PAR 1 S Paillot 



Insect concerned: The gypsy moth, Porthetria ( Lymantria ) 

 dispar. 



Paillot (1917) isolated Bacillus liparis from larvae of 

 Porthetria ( Lymantria ) dispar. He found it to "be very 

 pleomorphic and to resemble the diphtheria "bacillus in 

 morphology. The "bacillus appeared to "be of little patho- 

 genic importance.

BAC I LLUS L U T Z A E Brown 



Insects concerned: The green fly, Lucilia sericata ; the 

 house fly, Musca domestica . 



Brown (1927) isolated this spore -forming "bacillus from 

 dying and dead green flies ( Lucilia sericata ) and found 

 it to he pathogenic for the housefly also. Dying indi- 

 viduals and those just dead "but showing no sign of decay, 

 yielded pure cultures. Those in decay yielded a mold and 

 two cocci. (See Micrococcus rushmori and Neisseria 

 luciliarum . ) This organism is a rather small "cocco- 

 "bacillus" "bearing a polar spore. A complete description 

 of the "bacillus is given "by Brown.
