An AutoAnalyzer was used to analyze 1,4-butanediol dimethartesulfonate residues 

 incorporated into boll weevils and into boll weevil diet as a rate of 20 sam- 

 ples per hour. Extraction procedures resulted in about 95% recovery of the 

 chemical, and sensitivity as good as 0. 5 x 10~ moles/liter.

 transaminase and phosphoglucorautase allozymes in the boll weevil. Ann. 

 Entomol. Soc. Am. 73: 653-657. 



The inheritance patterns of aldehyde oxidase (Ao) , glutamate-oxaloacetate trans- 

 aminase ( Got ) , and phosphoglucorautase (Pgm) were investigated in the boll weevil, 

 Anthonomus grandis Boheman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) , with polyacrylamide gel 

 electrophoresis. There are codomlnant autosomal alleles segregating at 4 loci. 

 One Ao locus was unreliable as a marker under the conditions used. The remain- 

 ing Ao locus and Got locus, both with 2 alleles, and Pgm locus, with 3 alleles, 

 were easily scored and made useful markers. The heterozygotes of Ao and Got 

 exhibited 3 bands, which suggest:; that the enzymes of these systems are dimers. 

 Pgm heterozygotes exhibited only 2 bands, which suggests monomerin enzymes.

 against the boll v/eevil. 3. Phosphorus amides. J. Econ. Entomol. 65: 

 1550-1552. 



Of 56 nonalkylating phosphorus amides tested aeainst Anthonomus grandis Bohe- 

 man, 16 derivatives of phosphoric acid and 12 derivatives of phosphorothioic 

 acid were effective in inhibiting ovlposltion. In comparison to 2 triamides 

 of phosphoric acid, 2 triamides of phosphorothioic acid were the more toxic, 

 but theif sterilizing effectiveness was higher and more permanent.
