Abstract
In the mosquito A. (Finlaya) togoi, the mode of inheritance of a new mutant yellow larva (y) was investigated; the y allele is recessive and inherited independently of sex and its linked alleles, and independently of ruby eye (ru) and pigmented pupae (p), both of which are not sex-linked; therefore y is presumed to be on the 3rd linkage group in this species. The allele y is completely penetrant with little variation in its expressivity, but its phenotype could not be reliably distinguished from that of a sex-linked allele straw-colored larva (s).
