Insects concerned: The corn "borer, Pyrausta nubilalis ; 

 flour moth, Ephestia kiihniella ; Pectinophora gossypiella . 



This organism, along with Bacterium ephestiae No. 2, 

 was isolated "by Metalnikov and Chorine (Chorine, 1929) from 

 Ephestia kiihniella and used to combat corn "borers. These 

 organisms are identical with Bacillus thuringiensis as 

 shown "by Ellinger and Chorine (1930).
