Abstract

Two spontaneous mutants, white eye (w) and yellow larva (y), were isolated and characterized from the Bangalore (southern India) and Poona (western India) strains, respectively, of the malarial mosquito, Anopheles stephensi (Liston) (Diptera: Culicidae). The w mutation is a sex-linked recessive. The second mutant, y, is an autosomal recessive.
