Abstract
A new spontaneous mutation (dh) is described for Culex quinquefasciatus Say . This phenotype was observed in the second generation to cause complete coloration of the head capsule and the siphon of the larvae . This character is mainly detectable in the larval stage and slightly in the adult stage . The reciprocal mass matings between mutants from F2 generation and normal wild type sibs , revealed that the mode of inheritance can be controlled by an autosomal recessive gene (s) This happened for both sexes with slightly variability in their expression . No significant larval mortalities were found in all the crosses .
