Flavobacter i um mar I s Harrison 



Insect concerned: The Calpha sphinx, Ceratomla catalpae . 



From the mid- intestine of the larva of Ceratomia catal - 

 pae , Steinhaus (19^1) isolated a gram positive "bacterium 

 which in many of its characteristics was similar to 

 Fla voba c t er ium maris . The two organisms may not he identi- 

 cal (they differed in a few of their physiologic reactions) 

 hut until this group is "better defined Steinhaus considered 

 the organisms to he similar. A description of Flavobacter - 

 ium maris may he found in Bergey's Manual (1939> 5th ed. , 

 page 552. )
