Abstract
The mutant la (curved larval antennae) is described from C. pipiens; it is recessive, autosomal, and lethal when homozygous. The mutant allele shows 20% crossing-over with ru (ruby-eye) and 0.3% with y (yellow-larva), both of which are in linkage group H. Two mating systems for producing recognizable carriers of the lethal are discussed.
