Abstract

Four morphological mutations in the Mediterranean fruit fly are described and analyzed. These are: autosomal recessives ‘brown-orange’ eye (bo) and ‘garnet’ eye (g) in linkage group E, with a recombination level of 11.1% between them, dominant autosomal ‘Bar’ eye (B) in linkage group A, with recombination level of 0.53% with ap and 10.8% with dc. The dominant ‘Curly’ winged (Cy) in linkage group B, with a recombination level of 22.5–28.4% with or in females, and 7.5–12.1% in the males; and with a recombination level of 43.3% with w in the females and 3.7–8.1% in the males.
