Coccinellidae 
E-pilachna varivestls. Muls., the Mexican "bean "beetle 
Dusts containing 2 or 3 percent of chlordane applied to lima "beans 
permitted slight foliage injury "by the Mexican "bean "beetle. Sprays contain- 
ing 1 or 2 pounds of 50-percent wettable chlordane per 100 gallons of water 
gave similar results. — Huckett ( 229 ) . 
A 5-percent chlordane-pyrophyllite dust at 32 pounds per acre (3 appli- 
cations) gave 42 percent control of the larvae in tests made at Norfolk, 
Virginia in 1947.-— Br anno n (i£) . 
Dust mixtures containing various concentrations and proportions of 
chlordane and rotenone were tested on larvae of the Mexican "bean "beetle. 
According to the loose definition of synergism, the addition of chlordane 
to rotenone produced a synergistic action. — Sun (445 .) . 
In laboratory tests a 5-percent chlordane dust killed only 5 percent 
of the adults in 4 days and a 2-percent chlordane killed 84 percent of 
third instar larvae in the same time. In greenhouse tests 2-percent chlor- 
dane dust killed 95 percent of third instar larvae in 4 days. In field 
tests a 3-psrcent chlordane dust killed 51 »1 percent of third and fourth 
instar larvae after 3 days. — Sun et al. ( 450 ). 
Unidentified lady "bird "beetles 
Same as for Hvnera -postica . — Severin ( 4l4 ) . 
Chlordane was the least destructive of the chlorinated materials to 
four species of lady "beetles. — Newsom et, al. ( 349 ) . 
Cucujidae 
Orvgaephilus surinamensis (L.), the saw-toothed grain "beetle 
A 5-percent chlordane talc dust acted slowly on the adults. — Moretti 
(332). 
Curculionidae 
Anthpnomus grandis Boh., the "boll weevil 
Many tests of chlordane for boll weevil control have "been reported: 
in Alabama by Arant (20); in Louisiana by Gaines and Scales ( 170 ) t Newsom 
e£ £l* (-&Z, 250), and Scales and Smith (40j); in North Carolina by Kulash 
(271. 272 , 275). and the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station 
(152); in Oklahoma by Stiles and Fenton ( 439 ) . and Brett and Bhoades (46): 
in South Carolina by Bondy (4]J , life et al. (138) T Rainwater (383). and
