Summary Precocene and analogs added to the meal of 4th instar larvae ofRhodnius prolixus were tested as antifeedants. While precocene II had a strong antifeedant effect (ED50=48 μg/ml), the other compounds showed no drastic inhibition of feeding (ED50〉140 μg/ml). ATP, a phagostimulant, did not reverse the antifeedant action of precocene II. The mechanism of feeding inhibition is discussed.
