Abstract: Leiometopon simyrides is an important insect pest in China.In 1993,a virus was isolated from a diseased larva.Electronic micrographs revealed that it is of a nuclear polyhedrosis virus.The size of its polyhedral inclusion bodies is about 0.92~1.92 μm.The virions measure about 300 nm×44 nm.They are rod shaped.There is multiples embedded in polyhedrosis.The infection tests showed that the pathogen was found to be highly infections to the larvae of Leiometopon simyrides.
