ON POLYMORPHISM IN ELYTRAL COLORATION PATTERN IN COELOPHORA QUADRIVITTATA (COLEOPTERA, COCCINELLIDAE)

Abstract: The genetics of polymorphism in elytral coloration pattern was studied in the endemic New Caledonian coccinellid Coelophora quadrivittata Fauvel. Cross‐breeding results can be explained by recognizing that the three basic types of pattern (pale, spotted, and striped) are due to the occurrence of three different alleles (or pseudo‐allelic genes) designated ap, am, and aq respectively, the order of dominance being aq>am>ap. Other genes participate in local extensions of melanic areas. RÉSUMÉ SUR LE POLYMORPHISME… Show more

“…In coccinellids where the morphs differ fundamentally in pattern and base coloration of the elytra, the inheritance the pattern is via multiple alleles of a major gene. This is the case in Adalia bipunctata (L.) (Schröder, 1909;Fiori, 1928;Lusis, 1928), Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Tan & Li, 1934;Hosino, 1936) and Olla v-nigrum (Mulsant) (Vandenberg, 1992) in which melanic morphs are dominant and in Coelophora species (Chazeau, 1980;Houston & Hales, 1980) in which the pale morph is dominant. Hippodamia variegata only varies in the pattern of the distribution of the spots on the elytra.…”
