Aeroplane Wing, a New Recessive Autosomal Phenotypic Marker in Malaria Vector, Anopheles Stephensi Liston

“…The larval colour mutants in An. stephensi and their genetic basis of inheritance like stripe, controlled by a codominant gene [9]; grey, an autosomal recessive gene [16]; greenish brown, an autosomal recessive gene; red eye, a recessive sex-linked gene [29]; diamond palpus, an autosomal recessive gene [30]; golden-yellow, an autosomal recessive gene [31]; white eye, a recessive sex-linked gene; yellow body larvae, an autosomal recessive gene [15]; greyish black, an autosomal recessive gene [32]; ruby-eye (ru), an autosomal recessive gene [10]; and dark mutant (da), an autosomal recessive gene [33] have been reported by several pioneer workers [34]. In An.…”

“…Apart from these, mutants of eye-colour in An. stephensi, such as rosy [11], maroon [12], chestnut [13], ruby [14], and yellow body larvae [15] have also been reported. Tests for allelism were also reported using different larval colour mutants, such as grey and greenish black in An.…”
