Insect concerned: The lyreman cicada, Tibicen linnei . 



This pleomorphic "bacterium was isolated by Steinhaus 

 (19^1) from the alimentary tract of the cicada while 

 studying the natural flora of this insect.

Insect concerned: The honey "bee, Apis mellifera .

 as Bacterium mycoides Migula given in Bergey's Manual, 

 since White's strain produced spores and did not produce 

 a red pigment. It is probably the same as Bacillus 

 mycoides .

Bacterium neopolitanum DeBach and McOmie 



Insect concerned: The termite, Zootermopsis angusticollis 



This organism caused a disease among laboratory ter- 

 mites, which was characterized "by lethargy, cessation of 

 feeding, etc. The insects turned "black 12 to 36 hours 

 after death, the "blackness "being localized in the head 

 and appendages. 



According to DeBach and McOmie (1939) the "bacterium 

 was named Bacterium neopolitanum only as a matter of 

 convenience since it is closely related to the intestinal 

 group according to Kluyver and van Neil nomenclature. In 

 fact, DeBach and McOmie say that it might "be called one
