Chironomid larvae of the three species causing a nuisance problem in Japan were examined for their susceptibility to Bacillus thuringiensis serovar israelensis. Sporeparasporal inclusion complex gave a rapid and high mortality to larvae of Chironomus yoshimatsui (Chironominae) and Hydrobaenus kondoi (Orthocladiinae) within 24 h. However, susceptibility of Tokunagayusurika akamusi (Orthocladiinae) to this serovar was low.
