Biological activity of two new IGRs was studied under laboratory conditions against 2nd- and 4th-instar larvae and pupae of Anopheles quadrimaculatus, Aedes aegypti and Culex tarsalis. The IGR S-21149, an oxime [0-(2-(4'-Phenoxyphenoxy)ethyl propionaldoxime], produced an overall mortality or inhibition of emergence of 95% (when 4th instar treated) at 0.0047, 0.0013 and 0.00041 mg/liter in the three species, respectively. The EI95 values for the second IGR S-31183, a pyridine compound, [1-(4'-Phenoxyphenoxy)-2-(2'pyridyloxy) propane] were 0.017, 0.0026 and 0.00032 mg/liter for the three species, respectively. Both materials in general were less active against 2nd than 4th-instar larvae, except that the 2nd- and 4th instars of An. quadrimaculatus were equally susceptible. Pupae treated at up to 0.1 mg/liter showed no mortality in the pupal or the ensuing adult stages.

D009033	Culicidae	A family of the order DIPTERA that comprises the mosquitoes. The larval stages are aquatic, and the adults can be recognized by the characteristic WINGS, ANIMAL venation, the scales along the wing veins, and the long proboscis.
