Notes:
The allatotoxic effect of 3-ethoxy-4-methoxy-6-iso-pentenylphenol on nymphal molting and metamorphosis of Rhodnius prolixus was examined. Continuous contact treatment with IPP induced the formation of precocious adults and retarded molting or initiated a permanent ecdysial stasis. Insects treated with 7-ethoxy-6-methoxy-2,2-dimethylchrornene were similarly affected. Ecdysone given orally counteracted the ecdysial stasis and also reduced the duration of the molting delay caused by IPP.
