AcHROMOBACTER SUPERF 1 C 1 ALE (Jordon) Bergey et al, 



Insect concerned: Urographus fasciata . 



In the larvae of Urographus faciata , Steinhaus (19^1) 

 found a "bacterium which corresponded fairly well to the 

 incomplete description given in Bergey' s Manual (1939; 5th 

 ed. , page 511 ) for Achromohacter superf iciale . However, 

 the growth on agar of the organism isolated was more abund- 

 ant than that of Achromohacter superf iciale , which is 

 described as "being "limited."

Genus : Bacterium 



Bacter I um SP. De Bach and McOmie 

 Insect concerned: The termite, Zootermopsis augusticollis . 



DeBach and McOmie (1939'; found their laboratory stock 

 of the termite, Zootermopsis augusticollis, to "be afflicted 

 with two "bacterial diseases. One of these diseases was 

 caused "by Serratia marcescens (which see), while the other 

 was caused "by a "bacterium which they designated as Bacter - 

 ium sp. The disease caused "by the latter organism was 

 less common than that caused "by Serratia marcescens . 



DeBach and McOmie found Bacterium sp. to "be similar to 

 Bacterium neopolitanum according to the classification 

 system of Kluyver and van Niel (1936).
