Abstract

Three mutants, straw-colored larva, ruby eye, and pigmented pupa, are described from Aedes (Finlaya) togoi (Theobald), which is a natural or experimental vector of various species of filariae in the Far East. These are the first mutants described in this species. Straw-colored larva is a recessive, sex-linked allele with a recombination value of approximately 29% with the sex locus. Ruby eye and pigmented pupa are linked with each other by a recombination value of 28% to 30%; these alleles are autosomal and recessive.
