Genetics of a new mutant, curved wing, of the mosquito Aedes togoi.

A new recessive mutant curved wing (c) in the mosquito Aedes (Finlaya) togoi (Theobald), a vector of various species of filariae in the Far East, has been shown to be linked to yellow larva (y), with a recombination value of 13.26 +/- 1.41 to 20.53 +/- 1.41%. These linked alleles are inherited independently of either sex (M), straw-coloured larva (s), ruby eye (ru), or pigmented pupa (p). Evidence has now been produced that sex (M)-s, ru-p, and y-c mark the three linkage groups in this species (2n = 6), and these markers, respectively, have been placed provisionally in linkage groups 1, 2, and 3.
