Abstract
A black body mutant in Heliothis virescens (F.) was shown to be dominant to wild type, inherited as a simple Mendelian trait, and lethal when homozygous. This trait was transferred to H. subflexa (Guenée), apparently by chromosome displacement. The genetic expression was similar in both species but the mutant in H. subflexa did not appear as fit as in H. virescens. We were unable to maintain a mutant H. subflexa line by crossing mutant females with mutant males beyond one generation because of low fertility and survival.
