 (See Bacterium monachae and Bacillus B) 



Insects concerned: The nun moth, Lymantria monacha ; 

 Vanessa urticae; Porthesia auriflua ; Trachia piniperda; 

 Pieris "brassicae ; and the satin moth, Stilpnotia ( Liparis ) 

 salicis ; Eyponomenta evonymella . 



Eckstein (l89 i +) Relieved this spore-forming organism 

 to "be identical to Bacterium monachae of von Tubeuf (1892a 

 and b) and Bacillus B of Hofmann (1891). Eckstein isolated 

 Bacillus monachae from sick nun moth larvae, He found it 

 to "be pathogenic to the larvae of Vanessa urticae and 

 Porthesia auriflua , and to "be occasionally pathogenic for 

 the larvae of Trachea piniperda , Pieris "brassicae , and 

 Stilpnotia ( Liparis ) salicis . It was not pathogenic for 

 Hyponomenta evonymella .
