Tineidae 
Gracilaria azal.eel*3te Brants, the azalea leaf miner 
-. This pest on azalea vras mitigated by a product containing 12 percent 
of powdered Lonchocarpus nicou root (6 percent rotenone) and 88 percent 
of talcum, according to Etablissements Rotenia in a letter to R, C . Roark 
in 1938.

Nozu ( 311 ) in 1936 reported that, in experiments against this tineid 
on persimmon in Japan, sprays of Neoton (a derris insecticide), nicotine 
sulfate, or lead arsenate and calcium caseinate were effective for control, 
Neoton being the most successful.

See Back (16_) under Tineola bisselliella (Hum.), on page 152, 
Tinea sp. 
A swarm of almost-grown Tinea moths on an oak in Korea were killed 
within an hour by the application of a commercial derris spray [probably 
Neoton. -- R.C.R. ], — Anonymous (l_) in 1927. 
Tineola bisselliella (Hum,), the webbing clothes moth 
Back, Cotton, and Roark (18) in 1930 reported that acetone containing 
only 0.05 percent of rotenone gave excellent protection against this 
species to woolen goods thoroughly impregnated with the solution. Rote- 
none appears to equal any proprietary moth-proofing solution now offered 
the public in imparting moth resistance to fabrics. 
The United States Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Entomology 
( 432 ) in 1930 mentioned the work of Back, Cotton, and Roark in mothproof- 
ing woolens with an acetone solution of rotenone.

Campbell (60) in 1932 critically reviewed the work of Back, Cotton, 
and Roark, who in 1930 published the results of moth-proofing fabrics by 
treating them with an acetone solution of rotenone. According to Campbell, 
Moore repeated the tests of these authors, using a solution of rotenone in " » 
a mixture of acetone and naphtha, and obtained the same results; howevor, 
he found that when treated fabric was exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet 
light it lost some of its resistance. 
Turner and Townsend ( 425 ) in 1934 reported that an infested upright 
piano was vacuum cleaned and the felts treated with rotenone in carbon 
tetrachloride at 1:500, applied with a camel r s-hair brush. The piano was 
treated in June 1932, and two subsequent examinations, the latter. made in 
January 1934, disclosed no additional damage to the felts. Clothes moths 
were still present in the house but had not established an infestation in 
the piano. Rotenone is particularly suitable for this purpose because it 
is soluble in carbon tetrachloride.
