Abstract
Several mutants of the house fly, Musca domestica L., were isolated from normal and gamma-irradiated strains reared in the laboratory. The identity and maintenance of mutant strains, along with notations of related phenomena, are presented. Most of the aberrant forms that were isolated involved wing form, wing positioning, or the pattern of wing venation. Four established mutant strains, classic wing, stubby wing, dot vein, and white, have proved useful in the genetic analysis of insecticide resistance.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
