Steinhaus (19^1) found Micrococcus f r eudenr e i chi i to 

 "be part of the "bacterial flora of the alimentary canal of 

 the larva of the "bag worm moth. Burroughs (19^1) isolated 

 a strain of this micrococcus from the alimentary tract of 

 a gryllohlattid. A description of this organism may "be 

 found in Bergey's Manual (1939> 5th ed. , page 253 )•
