AbstractAdult emergence of Simulium decorum and Simulium tuberosum was reduced or completely inhibited in air-agitated stream water by 0.1 p.p.m. slow release formulations of insect growth regulators. Abnormal pupae were produced when S. decorum larvae were exposed to 5 p.p.m. R20458-4E.

SUMMARYSix compounds which show juvenile-hormone-like (JH) activity (TH6040, JH-25, Altosid, Altozar, ZR-777 and ZR-619) were tested on larvae of Culex pipiens. The reproduction potential of the females obtained during two successive generations was not affected greatly, but there was a decline in pupation rate with some compounds. There seemed to be a direct relationship between the size of females of this species and treatment with JH compounds tested in the present investigation, since treatment with concentrations to inhibit the emergence of 10% or 50% of adults caused significant changes in the width of head, wing dimensions or length of hind legs.
