Abstrakt: Five new spiroplasma strains were analyzed in reciprocal growth inhibition, metabolism inhibition (MI), and deformation (DF) serological tests. New provisional groups from the waspMonobia quadridens (VII) and the syrphid flyEristalis arbustorum (VIII) were added to the existing classification. Three serovars—represented by the LB-12 green leaf bug spiroplassignificantly with subgroup I-4 and with each other. These new groups and serovars bring the number of recognized spiroplasma serovars to 16. Serological distinctiveness of a sixth group (VI) fromIxodes ticks was confirmed. Simple DF and/or MI procedures are described for typing new isolates.
